EDITORS’ NOTES
Baton Rouge rapper Kevin Gates has been comparing himself to Luca Brasi, the devoted and doomed henchman of The Godfather since at least 2013’s The Luca Brasi Story. But Luca Brasi 3, released by Gates after an extended stint in prison, is much more an extension of the persona (and catalog) he has built as a rapper than a parallel to a fictional gangster. “I’ve been gone a year and a half, so it’s a lot of things that I didn’t really speak on that I get to speak on,” Gates told Beats 1’s Zane Lowe. “And there’s a lot of things on ‘Luca Brasi 1’ [The Luca Brasi Story] and Luca Brasi 2 I couldn’t speak about because I was dealing with it at the time.”
