Kevin Gates has announced the long-awaited release of his third studio album, “Khaza,” due to arrive via Bread Winner Alumni/Atlantic Records on June 17. “Khaza” is heralded by today’s premiere of the new track titled “Bad For Me,” produced by DJ Chose & P-Crisco.

In addition, “Khaza”also includes the acclaimed new song, “Big Lyfe.” An edgy, NYC-inspired official music video is streaming now at YouTube. Produced by 3x Grammy Award-nominee T-Minus (Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug), “Big Lyfe” was met by widespread media attention.
