Kevin Gates scored an unlikely hit this year in "Thinking With My Dick," a Juicy J-featuring single from 2013 that went viral on TikTok this year and rocketed to No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it's not even the first time Gates has gone viral on TikTok – "Big Gangsta" and "Me Too" have both inspired trends on the platform.) With newfound momentum behind him, Gates has announced the release date of his upcoming third studio album Khaza: June 17.
Below you can listen to its new single "Bad For Me," a song which revisits the narrative of an affair with a drug supplier's daughter, something he's explored on songs like "Plug Daughter" and "Plug Daughter 2." The song joins the previously released Khaza single "Big Lyfe," and you can hear it below.
