Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates recently swung through his home state for a string of tour dates, his first in the Pelican State since earlier this year. Hitting up Howlin' Wolf's in New Orleans, the Varsity Theater in Baton Rouge and Kokopellis in Shreveport, Gates did a run of radio interviews and promotional events leading up to each of his sold-out performances. His latest project, Stranger Than Fiction, dropped last month on his own Bread Winners Association label. Check out the hometown vlog—which recaps the string of dates—above.
