Baton Rouge's Kevin Gates recently released The Luca Brasi Story, which is dark and introspective and way more cohesive than it needs to be. His previous offering, last year's Make 'Em Believe isn't quite as together, but still has some bright moments, one of which is "Satellites," which finds Gates voicing his insecurities through a cracked sing-song, then bursting into a double-time verse in the second half. It doesn't quite reach the highs of his later material, but it's a good preview of what would come next.
