Today, RIAA multi-platinum certified rap superstar Kevin Gates has released his long-awaited third studio album, KHAZA, via Bread Winner Alumni/Atlantic Records.
The 19 track album is a follow up to the RIAA gold certified I’M HIM album and is available now on all DSPs HERE. Alongside the new album, Gates has also revealed “Hard to Sleep” as the focus track for the KHAZA.

True to his past releases, KHAZA, has next to no features except for the lone Juicy J assisted track, “Thinking With My Dick.” In addition, KHAZA also includes the acclaimed new songs, “Intro,” “Bad For Me” and “Big Lyfe,” all available now to stream via YouTube HERE. KHAZA is also seeing major support from the success of the “Super General (Freestyle)” with over 8.5 million views on YouTube streaming HERE.
Named after his son Khaza, the body of work was birthed from Kevin’s innate parental instinct to give Khaza free game he’s picked up over the years in addition to the critical importance of paying forward all the advice he’s received, and the tough lessons learned so that Khaza can be an even grander man than him. Accordingly, crafted with so much purpose in mind, this project is slated to be Gates’ most personal & poignant album yet.
