Kevin Gates Confirms ‘Murder for Hire 2’ Release Date

“2 Phones” rapper Kevin Gates will now have two Murder For Hire mixtapes.

“I really apologize for the wait,” the Louisiana rapper said in a Snapchat video on Wednesday night [May 25], “but Murder For Hire will be dropping Friday, on the 27th.” A series of videos on his Snapchat story also featured snippets of the music.

Word of the mixtape’s release came mid-April, when Gates informed us via Twitter his label wouldn’t let him release an album until next year.

“They’re not allowing me to release another album until Feb, f*** it murder for hire 2,” he said in a tweet.

It looks like the project has finally come to fruition and it’ll “really really” be released this Friday.
