This is the first song where Kevin doesn’t have the biggest presence. How is he able to keep this narrative going with so many styles? How is it being done so effortlessly? Does Kevin write his raps? I can’t imagine these songs are freestyled. “ Stalking leads to a prison sentence.” Sir, of course, it does. He’s basically whispering in a woman’s ear over a trap beat. I’m Him is a strong collection of trap-driven beats. A blistering thumper with the sweetest keys. “ Family telling you to pray but you so sick and tired.” The production hasn’t let me down thus far. He understands the streets how Van Gogh understood paint. Gates is talking from a place that’s familiar. There’s a nice emotional texture to his tone. “ Have you ever been treated like you wasn’t shit?” Oh yeah, this is down bad music. I know when the keys are this serene a song with some depth is coming. “Walls Talking” might be my favorite track yet. No matter the subject, he writes knowing someone will listen to this. Kevin Gates never forgets he’s making a song. There’s a gift in pouring out your past, being this honest, but not losing such an infectious flow. “ I’m a prisoner in my own mind, I feel like the walls talking to me” shouldn’t sound anthemic, but they do here. Richie’s drums are some of the strongest. It’s like floating in the ocean during the golden hour. I can see this one having radio potential. He writes about women with admiration and nothing else. He’s singing on the hook as if he’s trying to serenade the woman of his dreams. A rapper hasn’t found a momentum this good since Young Thug. It’s hard to transition from a song like “Facts” into “Fatal Attraction.” This is practically a love song a song for quiet storms. Crazy how such a heavy voice can also sound so light. He doesn’t give you room to catch your breath each song bursts into the next.

Kevin Gates knows how to make a street banger. Not quite fight music, just something that makes you wish you had dreads to shake. This record hits so hard it’s full of aggression. This is Three 6 Mafia “Tear da Club Up” energy, but without the chaos. Also, the writing is so pointed and sharp. He would be the perfect street rapper for that empire. Rick Ross must regret not having Kevin Gates on MMG. The bars are raw enough to give “Bags” a sharp edge. Kevin doesn’t fumble him flow, and the melody is just sweet enough to catch the ear. The drop wasn’t the powerbomb I wanted, but the song is still arresting.

They move and strike, full of electricity and without overstaying their welcome. If Post Malone sang this hook, it would be at the top of the Hot 100. I wasn’t sure about this hook, initially, but it’s gold. The production is bursting through the speakers. “ Killers in my hood know me by my first name.” Sheesh! That’s an opening line.
“ I know my purpose now.” “ Taking these journeys I’m going to need an interpreter,” I like that line, a lot. If you go into this record not knowing Kevin Gates, you’ll want to trust the speaker. The passion behind every lyric fuels this sense of authenticity. There’s brilliance in how emotion is flooding the music. “ This my healing process.” He is peaking on issues with a woman. A few different flows keeping this one exciting. “ I’m a real big speaker.” That describes Kevin Gates perfectly. Gates doesn’t waste a second setting a strong tempo. This bassline is a sea monster, shaking with the force of a raging, red Gyarados. By far one of the most arresting voices in rap, made for trap music. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. In usual 1-Listen album review fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping.
