Biography

Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates seamlessly merged reflective lyrics with gangsta rap, gaining recognition through mixtapes before achieving mainstream success with his Top 40 album "Stranger Than Fiction" in 2013. His platinum-certified debut album "Islah" narrowly missed the top spot in 2016, while subsequent mixtapes like "Murder for Hire" and "Luca Brasi" consistently charted in the upper ranks of the Billboard 200.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Kevin Jerome Gilyard debuted in 2007 with "Pick of da Litter" and quickly gained traction with mixtapes like "The Luca Brasi Story," released under his label Bread Winners' Association. Signing with Atlantic Records, Gates collaborated with artists like Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J, achieving commercial success with his albums and mixtapes. His poignant lyrics and gruff delivery have solidified his position as a prominent figure in contemporary rap.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
