On Friday, January 19th, 2024, the streets of downtown LA filled with traffic as Kevin Gates made his way to Savanna Rooftop for his listening party for his new album titled The Ceremony. The anticipation for a new project was undeniable since the 2 Phones rapper has not dropped an album since Khaza in 2022. On the red carpet, his friends, family, and fans shared their excitement and gratitude for Kevin as he continues to share his mental, physical, and spiritual journey with us in The Ceremony. Celebrity sightings included Domani Harris, Tay Savage, KaMillion, Fredo Bangz, Drieka Gates, and more.
Recap from Kevin Gates listening party for his upcoming album ‘The Ceremony’
As the carpet ended, guests headed up to the rooftop where the vibes began. Upon entry, the gold decorations and large balloon arches gave luxurious vibes, and the small bites kept us full and ready for the open bar. The cocktail options ranged from tequila, rum, and vodka with names from songs from the album like Healing, The Ceremony, and Yonce Freestyle. Now, this wasn’t the only open bar at this party; there was also a cannabis bar for the flower connoisseurs where joint rollers rolled a strain of your choice right in front of you. Not only that, there were go-go dancers on rings and breathing fire. Can you say lit, literally?
After Gates got comfortable in his VIP section and greeted his family, he blessed the stage and performed a few of the tracks from The Ceremony to start the listening party. From what I heard, all I can say is, do not sleep on this album! He gave an ode to Plies and T-Pain’s ‘Shawty’ in his smooth track ‘Lil Yea’. He also mixed the 99 and the 2000s with the new wave of rap in Yonce Freestyle featuring BG and Sexxy Redd, which are the only features on this album. The Ceremony takes listeners on a ride with Kevin Gates as he shares his journey from 2022 to 2024 over beats and with bars. If you’ve been craving a project with no skips, then you need to download The Ceremony right now, available on all streaming platforms.
