Kevin Gates had a memorable 2013, releasing two projects, getting featured by Pusha T on his Wrath of Caine mixtape, and reaching national prominence after generating a local buzz for several years. He begins 2014 by releasing a new single called "Don't Know," a song that could be his biggest one to date. Over booming production, Gates drops a chorus that is likely to get stuck in your head within one listen.

However, as catchy as the hook is, the lyrics are as real as any Kevin Gates song is expected to be. The Baton Rouge native starts the second verse by talking about driving around in an expensive car and getting caught in a high-speed chase with police before eventually losing them. The detail in Gates' narration are vivid throughout.

Expect more music from Gates as he looks to build on the momentum he generated last year.
