Kevin Gates

<p>Beginning February with a bang, <a href="/profile/KevinGates" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kevin Gates</a> surprised his fans on the first of this month by sharing his 2013 project, <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/628370-kevin-gates-celebrates-a-massive-milestone-with-the-luca-brasi-story-a-decade-of-brasi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">THE LUCA BRASI STORY</a></em> on DSPs. The 22-track effort boasts popular titles like &#8220;IDGAF,&#8221; &#8220;IHOP,&#8221; and &#8220;Narco Trafficante&#8221; featuring Percy Keith. Additionally, friends like <a href="/profile/master-p" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Master P</a>, <a href="/profile/CurrenSy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Curren$y</a>, and Terrance Hines came through to assist the rap star.</p>



<p>Aside from that the last release we got from the father of two was last November&#8217;s <em>FYP</em> EP. However, on Sunday (February 5), his wife Dreka hinted that Kevin is cooking something up for listeners. On her Instagram page, the businesswoman posted a teaser for a new video single called &#8220;Breakfast,&#8221; and it looks seriously tasty, to say the least.</p>

<p>&#8220;Who&#8230;I mean&#8230; What do you like for #Breakfast?&#8221; Dreka asked followers in the caption. The visual begins with a landscape shot of snowy mountains and trees as the &#8220;Really Really&#8221; rapper&#8217;s name flashes across the screen. A white SUV eventually enters the frame, and after more scenic B-roll, we watch Kevin help his partner out of the passenger side.</p>



<p>She smiles ear to ear as he looks at her with adoration. Before you know it, the camera takes us into the kitchen, where the Gates family patriarch is shirtless and chefing up some food. After preparing a plate, he walks it over to Dreka, who sits patiently waiting on the couch in black lingerie.</p>

<p>The couple shares a sweet kiss, which cuts to footage of Kevin rapping the upcoming release out in the snow. No premiere date came along with the teaser video, but it&#8217;s been receiving plenty of love from friends and fans so far. &#8220;Love y&#8217;all together and ion even know y&#8217;all lol,&#8221; author Porsha Guobadia wrote.</p>
