Rating: 2.5 out of 5.We don’t deserve a Kevin Gates love song.
Doesn’t it feel like this has been one of Kevin Gates’ quieter years? Besides limiting his song and album releases, he’s also toned down his online presence. However, it seems the Louisiana rapper wants to end the year with impact. Last week, he released a new single titled “Renewed Ambition,” and today, he’s followed it up with another track, “FEEL.”
In “FEEL,” Kevin Gates reflects on a woman who significantly influences his perspective on growth, love, and intimacy. While he briefly flexes, the track is primarily introspective. The bass-heavy, almost celestial beat gives it a unique vibe, as if a trap Sade might sing over. Instead, Gates delivers raps with a subtle melody and an unorthodox flow, which doesn’t quite resonate with me. Maybe this track needed more time to stew…
How come no one ever asks Kevin Gates about political s**t? I feel like he has some very interesting things to say about the presidential race.
