Kevin Gates is only two months removed from the release of his third studio album, Khaza, but he’s already got a new single out. On “Major League,” Gates utilizes a cacophonous beat to reiterate his street credentials, shouting out the Baton Rouge roads upon which he made his name. There’s no hook, just Gates spitting aggressively for nearly three minutes straight, concluding, “I know music cool, but I know selling drugs would get me richer / With the sh*t, a life sentence come with this if I’m convicted.”
In the buildup to the release of Khaza, Gates released a handful of singles including “Super General,” “Intro,” and “Bad For Me.” Upon its release, the album debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. Gates also appeared on UPROXX Sessions to perform “Hard To Sleep” and announced his Big Lyfe Tour to promote the album. You can listen to “Major League” above and see the remaining tour dates below.
