Kevin Gates, the intense and erratic Baton Rouge rap monster, will release his new album Islah early next year. He’s talked about trying to make it better than his already-classic 2013 mixtape The Luca Brasi Story, which is going to be a tall order. But he songs he’s released thus far, like “Really Really,” show serious promise. And now he’s got a new one called “Two Phones,” which manages to be both hard and melodic. Check it out below.
