Man, how awesome is Kevin Gates? Yeah I know, we're a music publication and we're supposed to be really good with words and describing sounds, but sometimes you just listen to a rapper and you don't know what to say other than goddamn I love that when this guy raps his gravelly flow sounds like he's choking on rocks.

Anyway, the Baton Rouge artist was recently dubbed a XXL Freshman and has been a favorite of Noisey's for the past year and a half—we've talked to him extensively about listening to Taylor Swift and falling in love—so we're stoked to present a performace at New York's Gramercy Theatre on August 20.

Tickets officially go on sale Friday, May 16 at 10 AM EST. But because we love you just as much as we love Kevin Gates, Noisey has an exclusive pre-sale happening today. Head here to buy tickets, and enter our password "MUSICISDOPE." (Because, duh, music is dope.)
