2022 felt like a strong return for Kevin Gates. The Louisiana-bred rapper emerged with the release of his latest body of work, Khaza, a spiritual successor to his debut album, Islah. In the years since his release from prison, Gates has undoubtedly showcased his growth and maturity. Not only within his art but through his health regiment as well. Overall, Gates returned with a strong body of work that reminded fans that he hasn’t lost his touch one bit.
During the same time he released Khaza, he suggested that he was a bachelor, once again. The release of “Super General” included accusations of infidelity between himself and his wife, Dreka Gates. Though she never necessarily confirmed it, Gates continued to frolic around, attempting to woo Summer Walker and his apparent fling with Brittney Renner. Ultimately, he appeared to be enjoying life as a single man. However, it seems like he and Dreka Gates recently rekindled their romance.
Kevin Gates Releases Music Video For New Single “Breakfast” Starring Dreka
This morning, Gates returned with his first release of 2023 with “Breakfast.” The rapper links up with DJ Chose for the record, delivering an abundance of raunchy bars while providing a healthy dose of machoism that we’ve known from Gates. He doesn’t hold back from the details, either, using food as a euphemism for sex. On the first verse, he delves into his melodic side while reflecting on his bedroom fantasies and everything he’ll do to please his woman.
Gates unveiled a music video for the single, too. Dreka Gates serves as the leading lady, which appears to be a confirmation that they’re back together. The video opens up with Kevin surprising Dreka with a new home secluded from the city before sharing intimate moments with one another. It’s an unconventional setting for a music video yet effectively sultry for another strong release from Gates. Hopefully, the new single leads to a new project later this year. Check the new song above.
Quotable Lyrics
Bread winner, Major League Mafia, swingin’
And we up the bet, my big brother came back and we back havin’ motion
Gorilla four, we been overseas, metro ton load on the submarine, come out the ocean
