In a time where the trap genre dominates, NY native, TriState Gates offers a new age spin on traditional hip-hop and contributes to the revival of real sh*t. His bars, riddled with lucid true to life street tales, compounded with an encyclopedic type vocabulary, show you that he is an artist who adheres to the ideas of lyricism through metaphors and figures of speech.
With the unveiling of his latest full-length project, Streets Held Me Back, Gates drops noteworthy lyrics and calls on some familiar grimy cats in the game to put the finishing touches on a strong project.
With guest appearances on his new project, Streets Held Me Back, from Benny The Butcher, Eto, Rob Gates, and Rigz, in junction with hard-hitting production from Lex With The Records, Penny Diamond, RAMSZ, Michaelangelo, and The Historian Musikdae, this is undoubtfully a hard album that rap aficionados will enjoy.
Listen to the project here, peep the “NY Native” visual, and remain on the lookout for more from TriState Gates as he carves his way into the industry, organically through hard work and talent.
