In the Meantime

Kevin Gates

Seventeen tracks of gravelly, melodic Southern trap. A high-stakes emotional confession recorded in the humid shadows of Baton Rouge.

It's like a therapy session held in the back of a blacked-out SUV.

A heavy, humid blend of street-level aggression and soul-baring vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from aggressive street bars to a soulful, pained melodic hook on Satellites.
The cinematic, string-heavy resolution of the Symphonic Outro that elevates the album's grit into something tragic.
The raw, unfiltered vocal delivery on Sinatra where the rasp in his voice sounds like it's physically breaking.
