Kevin Gates may be busy rocking stages across North America as part of Nick Cannon‘s 2024 ‘Wild ‘N Out Live Tour,’ but that hasn’t stopped the 2x GRAMMY nominee from cranking out new music.

Having kicked off the year with ‘The Ceremony’ album (which soared to the top 10 of Rap charts in February), Gates is ending 2024 with a string of new singles in preparation for the LP’s yet-titled follow-up.

“Whoever don’t want me, I am not stressing / I do not jug baby, I’m a blessing / Blessings on your journey, find you something better / I ain’t gonna lie, look low and high,” he raps on the EJ Grimes-produced ‘Renewed Ambition.’

Barely giving fans a week to get acquainted with the November 1-released ‘Ambition,’ Kevin followed up with the new song ‘Feel‘ on Friday (November 8).
