KEVIN GATES IN CONCERT:
New Orleans-bred rapper and freestyle king Kevin Gates is quickly making himself known within the hip-hop community since breaking onto the scene with 2007's smashing mixtape Pick Of Da Litter. Combining his raspy flows with soulful crooning on heavy hitters like "Satellites" and "Arm & Hammer", Gates has a finesse that keeps fans coming back for more. Back on tour, Gates and his hype men will have ticket buyers getting down all night at his upcoming shows.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kevin Gates, born Kevin Gilyard, grew up on the streets of Louisiana finding solace in music by penning lyrics at a young age. After spending years honing his craft, Gates released his debut mixtape Pick Of Da Litter in 2007. Although it wasn't an initial hit, the album sparked several more releases and attracted attention from big-time artists like Lil' Wayne. The up-and-coming rapper has been on the rise ever since, collaborating with Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J on his 2013 mixtape Stranger Than Fiction and having music featured on Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of 2013 list. With his 2014 album By Any Means and an upcoming tour in the works, Gates will have eager ticket buyers shakin' it to his hot rap jams.
Amazing concert amazing crowd! Very clean establishment
I had sooooo much fun NLE Choppa and Kevin Gates definitely bought the energy the crowd was a whole vibe during both performances I definitely would go back
I loved the show sooo much NLE Choppa and Kevin Gates did a great job and had the crowd has the best of vibes. I definitely would love to attend another show.
I bought my daughter to concert and I think I had more fun than her lol smdh . It was our first experience and we enjoyed every minute.
This was an awesome concert. Highly recommend! Everyone who preformed was very entertaining.
I have been to a lot of concerts and Kevin Gates was one I had been wanting to see for a long time!! I was disappointed. The concert started at 8. We had 1 hour of just the DJ playing before any opening acts came out. The opening acts had a good bit of energy. Kevin came out and opened with a song not many people knew which I found weird bc most of the time artist come out with a hype song to set the mood. He performed a few songs I knew (and I listen to a lot of his music). Some of the songs were slow and no one was really getting into it. His set felt rushed and he didn’t do too much. It wasn’t until I played back a video later I saw the song was playing and he wasn’t even singing into the mic so I’m not sure how much he actually sang/ rapped live. I probably wouldn’t go to another Kevin concert sadly.
This is not my first Kevin Gates experience this was my second and I love every bit of both!!! I love Kevin Gates he’s an amazing performer and knows how to hype a crowd. I think security needs to be a little more strict we had floor seats and could barely see cause ppl came from where ever and stood in front of us!!!
This was my first time at this venue for a concert and I can say it was amazing.! Great security and direction. The show was AMAZING. Great sound, effects and amazing show overall!
Every time Kevin Gates come to Columbia I’m always there . He knows how to put on for the city . I love him . He shows love I had an fun and amazing time seeing him Again !!!!
Definitely one for the books. Saw Gates back in 2014 and I'm so glad to experience the growth and the longevity of his music. IDGT! TTG!
