Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates and 2014 XXL Mag Freshmen Class member Kevin Gates is hard at work on his album for Atlantic Records right now, but in the meantime he's not leaving us hanging, finishing up 2014 strong with the delivery of his Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Luca Brasi 2, hosted by DJ Drama. It's the follow up to his 2013 breakthrough mixtape The Luca Brasi Story, and his most recent release since By Any Means, which came out earlier this year (he also jumped on a track with Rustie not too long ago). He’s joined on the tape by Atlanta's Rich Homie Quan (Word Around Town), R&B upstart August Alsina (I Don’t Get Tired #IDGT), B.O.B.
