Upon his release from behind bars, rapper Kevin Gates plans to use his story to scare teens out of ending up in the same predicament he’s currently in.

TMZ reports that Gates’ lawyer Herschel Rush has revealed that the Louisiana musician will dedicate substantial time to sharing his personal story with troubled youth once he’s released on Wednesday (January 10). Gates plans to share his story with the Boys & Girls Club, among other organizations.

In total, Gates has served roughly nine months out of a 30-month sentence at Illinois East Moline Correctional Facility.
