Although Kevin Gates is currently behind bars, his circumstances won’t stop him from releasing new music. The man behind the hit single “2 Phones” has announced plans to drop a mixtape titled “By Any Means 2” on September 21.
The project is a sequel to his 2014 mixtape By Any Means, which was his second release through Atlantic Records. No tracklist has been made public at this time but the tape includes the song “What If,” which Gates released a new music video for earlier this week.
The “What If” video featured an open letter from Gates to his fans, reassuring them to not worry about his incarceration.
“Disallow yourselves to be trouble in my time of absence,” he wrote. “All of the great ones who before and will come after me: Have had to go through this.”
The Baton Rouge rapper is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence stemming from a 2013 weapons charge in Cook County, Illinois. Before beginning his latest stint in jail, he was locked up for six months after being convicted of battery charges in October 2016.

Free Gates!
in 30 months, for sure/ Criminal has to do his time. #HeGotNoPhonesUnlessTheGuardSaysHereGoAndCallHome LOL
He looks like a dyke.
Fake Muslim alert. What does the Korean say about your lesbian bisexual wife? Plus there are mad homo tendencies with this fraud. Enjoy your time locked up. Everyone has forgotten about your fake ass.
Exactly. There seems to be a whole lot of these idiots claiming Muslim, all as a gimmick. None of these fools ever commit. They learn a few Arabic words here and there but still use drugs and live a life of sodomy. All fake Muslims like this clown ain’t fooling anybody.
Exactly right. There used to be a lot of rappers who if you didn’t run into and see them for yourself at the mosque you wouldn’t know they’re Muslim. Nowadays it’s worn in As a badge on their chest. It’s just still subversive to “mainstream” America so idiots like this think it makes them cool.
Better to be this kind of fake than the radical ones Israel deals with at least… still, F this guy
Imma let you finish but Korean is… quite different… I mean totally different, from Quran.
Better a fake Muslim than a real one. They’re not about to snap and kill in the name of their pedo God
Str8 Wack and who cares
