Comparatively the Kevin Gates we see on the cover of Luca Brasi 2 is a different man from the one we first became acquainted with on the cover of The Luca Brasi Story in early 2013. And that's fair because Gates has had himself a productive year; signing to Atlantic Records, releasing two critically-acclaimed mixtapes, and even becoming a father for the second time. But on his latest offering from the forthcoming Luca Brasi 2, "Thugged Out," Kevin Gates is in his usual fatalist, dope boy mode. Peep "Thugged Out" after the jump and be on the lookout for Kevin Gates' Gangsta Grillz hosted Luca Brasi 2 dropping December 15th.

What makes a summer song? It's sweaty but never sad about it. The right summer smash makes you put the double-decker barbecue plate on your lawn chair, pour out something cool and get close to the speakers. It's naked and unashamed, of course. The song's gotta be loud. Not volume-wise either. You need to be able to open that sunroof, lower the windows on the highway and still annoy passersby with the bass drop. They're great songs because they're disposable songs. A summer jam is the wet wipe of music: refreshing as it is fleeting and oh so useful at the right time. Load these songs into your playlist and be the DJ you always wanted for the weekend.
