To start we will call him by the familiar name of K. Gates (The Wave) and later I will end telling you his new name. For now though, the focus has to be on a Freestyle that really took my breath away when I heard it a few weeks ago. Listen for yourself, as Gates introduces some New Orleans Competition.


Many of the participants are RSN which I believe is an acronym for Real Street Nig***. Yes, the N word y'all. After K. Gates did the collaboration with Lil Boosie called Dollar Bill, bragging about how much he grinded to get money, I really did not pay much attention. More recently, it's apparent that he is working harder than ever to continue to build his own little Empire for his growing family. With the new group called The Tainerz and their Caribbean sound, he seems to have his hands quite full. You can listen to their song below and take notice, understanding that if you Rap, you have a lot to live up too.

I shared all of this to remind Rappers like Nice Gunz, BTY Young'n, Stylez, and Stick Up, there is a business side to this Music Business. Music Manager Geedy P. who manages the three, understands that fact all to well. He is well read and constantly updates his Instagram Feed with the books he is reading. The business side means promotion and being where the consumer is, according to Geedy P We think, K. Gates (newly named Zul-Qarnain) understands it and also knows how to capitalize on it too. That's all. Kudos...
