Description
No features on Islah, by design: Kevin Gates wanted his debut to be his voice alone, named after his daughter. Across these 2LPs he toggles between confessional croon and gritty bounce. 2 Phones lands with a rubbery bass shift just before the hook doubles, Really Really snaps with precision hi-hats, and Time for That leans into a sung rasp that still feels raw. It’s the balance that makes this record stick.
This clear 2LP pressing gives the low end more room and cleans up the stereo image, so the ad‑libs sit where they should without crowding the kick. Artwork looks sharp, and the spread across four sides keeps the energy consistent rather than cramming.
Spin it late on a Melbourne drive and you’ll hear how diaristic his writing gets without losing that club-tempo pull. For anyone filing shelves by Southern eras, it belongs right next to Boosie while marking the mid-2010s wave where melody met menace.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Kevin Gates records online with us.
Still hits as a start-to-finish listen, not just a singles vehicle, and it’s nice to hear these mixes breathe with a bit more space than the old stream. Buy Kevin Gates records online today or visit us in Preston to grab a copy.
