As reports suggested, Kevin Gates has been released after serving nine months in a Cook County prison. Following the release from a stint in a Floridian correctional facility for assault, Gates plead guilty to a felony gun possession charge last April. The accusation could have brought Gates up to thirty years in prison, but he was able to attain only a thirty-month sentence with eligibility for parole.

The news of his departure sparks celebration; however, there will be a few caveats such as mandatory supervision and no possession of firearms.

In other music news, listen to Onra’s new smooth future-funk track, “No Question”.
