Kevin Gates Surprises Fans With ‘Chained To The City’ EP [STREAM]

Upon getting out of prison Kevin Gates said he wouldn’t drop anything until he made something he felt was compelling enough. Well, it appears he found a collection of songs that were good enough as he releases his surprise ‘Chained to the City’ EP.

Just two days ago he previewed music on his Instagram and he lets go of three new songs for the EP via his BWA (Bread Winners’ Association) imprint. The three songs on the project are “Change Lanes,” “Vouch,” and “Let It Sing.”

He has been restricted by the Department of Corrections in Illinois to travel out of state, which has limited his performances and cancelled plenty of his scheduled upcoming shows.
