Kevin Gates’ Islah album is slated for a December 11 release, according to iTunes.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper’s project features the single “La Faimilia” and will be a total of 15 tracks.
In July, Kevin Gates discussed his relationship with fellow Louisiana rapper Lil Wayne.
“He gave me a different approach with music,” Kevin Gates said at the time. “I used to sit in there and watch him. Well, I’mma relate it to this. I’mma give you this illustration. You know, to learn how to coke dope good you got to be around a good dope cook. And you know most artists don’t give you their recipe. They don’t let you get in the kitchen with em…So, Wayne let me get in the kitchen with him. You heard me? Me and Tunechi, we in the kitchen late nights. Everybody in the studio sleep. I’m in there just, ‘Yeah, what this do? What that [do]?’”
