When he paused the interview to take a short prayer, that is self-actualization & discipline at the highest form

One of my favorite quotes from Gates “I Am Who I Am. Who I’m not I’ll never be” This dude has helped me in more ways than one. Coming from a broken home and going through the mental shit that comes with it doesn’t define you hope some of you that read this will understand that.

That's not Kelvin's quote... That's from the Folks Disciples Nation

Kevin always speaks so profound, and I like it a lot. He seems very spiritually aware and connected. He's not just a rapper, he's so much more. Also, his skin is so clear, and his line up is fresh af.

Kevin is healthy in spirit, body and mind. something we should all strive to be

[@melissaulicne884]

I love his self confidence it has let him understand his Truth and has enabled him to enlightened others. Beautiful

[@cocospeaks]

I was compelled to press pause and pray for him! This the type of artist they don't want; intelligent, in-tune w/ self, expressing love and vulnerability and unapologetic about it all. He is a teacher; anything he talks about he can back it up with facts. He is helping a lot of black men (and women) heal. I've never seen any artist speak about the things that he speaks about. I'm mad I only discovered him a few weeks ago, smh.

[@charlesharrison3207]

If you're watching this video and feeling like you're at the end of your rope, please know that you're not alone. It's okay to reach out for help, whether that's through therapy, medication, or just talking to a friend. It can be a long and difficult journey, but there is hope and healing on the other side. Thank you to the creator for sharing their story and shedding light on this important topic.

[@patriciacleveland2588]

I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one

[@charlesharrison3207]

I cannot express enough how much @Dr.healingstrain mushrooms have changed my life. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years and have tried countless medications and therapies, but nothing seemed to work. But as soon as I started taking the mushrooms, I immediately noticed a difference in my mood and overall well-being. The anxiety and depression symptoms I once faced on a daily basis have now become manageable. I highly recommend @Dr.healingstrain mushrooms to anyone looking for a natural, effective solution to improve their mental health.

[@liamphilpkent6250]

Wow, that's fantastic to hear! Can you tell us a bit more about the product and how it has helped with your mental health? I've been looking for something that can give me some relief.

[@michaelsmith6306]

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here

[@dr.karidouglas1312]

I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of medicinal mushrooms lately and I'm curious to try it out for myself. Do you have any recommendations on how to use the product?

[@HiddenT93]

His vibration must be on another level! Glad to have kevin in these times in 2023 we need people like this!!🙏

[@richardlambert5350]

My jaw is on the floor. Authenticity on another level. So much bull-ish in the world. Its empowering to know that real people exist and are growing and becoming the people they are meant to be. Keep speaking and living in your truth. You've found your purpose. Just keep being you and doing you. No need to compare to anyone. Other people's opinions of you is none of your business anyways. We are manifesting out here, step into your power. Never let these low frequency people dictate how you move. Peace and love to all. Ascend all well...

[@HealingWithinKIM]

Thank you for this interview that I got the opportunity to listen to. It was actually amazing. I thought I was the only one going through that field seeing things that would be weird or strange to others but I’m a live of my truth regardless. I started yoga I like it it’s different.

[@princesmiley219_]

I watched this video 3x’s already. This interview was beautiful. Good job big brother for living in your Truth & showing the world that it’s still hope & good people out here🤲🏾💯

[@alexandria3736]

Dear Kevin gates , what you said really does resonate with me, no one can understand unless they live like this… but I picked up listening again after a short intermission and I literally washed my dishes and got my planner and list out for what I will do to finish my night, so I picked back up right when you pulled out the list , but shortly after you mentioned that your grand father lives within you. Well this may sound crazy but I’m living the same life experience to which brought me to see life with ojos de oro

This Video brought real tears to my eyes the way he expresses pain feels as if he's talking through my lips. you were definitely sent back to cali for a reason gates . watching this has inspired me to do better moving forward . Thank you Kevin. Much appreciated.

[@DJLITRAVE]

dude so passionate

[@vonniethavixxxen9102]

so proud of my baby.. 💓 his journey is a beautiful thing, i’ll never get tired of hearing about

[@lisamzzetta1488]

He is so smart. Most of the time when we get upset or get enough feelings about something it’s because of past thing that has her ego or some kind of trauma it really doesn’t have anything to do with that moment and if you can search and figure out what is making you feel that way and you kinda can work through it. So many young men should be watching this man and they should be following exactly what he does because they will get so far in life I hope everything he touches turns to blessings

[@KMilli25]

This will forever be my fav rapper and one of my favs in the whole entertainment industry. I've never related to someone so much musically, artistically, and even as a human being. He is so raw and uncut. I felt bad when I had to stop listening to his music b/c I related so much to the pain and depression in his music. To see him now is so beautiful, so enlightening, and truly breath taking b/c I now resonate with the new growth in him b/c I am becoming a better version of me. I'm so proud of Kevin like I'm a close friend. The old Kevin I was scared to approach but this Kevin I'll probably break down and cry. I didn't get the chance to see the awe of Tupac in human form because I was probably 2 yrs old when he was killed but imma make sure I get to with Kevin. ❤️ Don't let nobody make you feel crazy for caring about celebrities/someone worldly known. God put them in front of an audience for a reason! Tell them to mind they f**king business!

[@stayy_lokeyy]

have you ever listened to killer mike this one album called pledge allegiance to the game? it reminds me of gates because it’s just so humble and raw. no filter no facade what u see is what u get and always helping people. 💜

[@NzuriNoni]

I love to listen to Kevin…. His energy is the TRUTH❤

[@dustinwest5410]

It is so true. When he said he talks to himself to work things out mentally. I do the same thing. When people catch me talking to myself they laugh but this made me feels not so weird.

[@cassandracooper5255]

I'm not just hearing this man speak I'm feeling his spirit I'm loving his wisdom.

[@jmacmanagementQueen]

Some people just don’t understand how it feels to truly be grateful. 💜don’t miss that blessing

[@BankBeaters]

Unbelievably grateful this interview popped up on my feed. So many powerful messages. I didn’t know much about Kevin’s life outside music, but how inspiring. My life motto is that being a man is all about being a little better in every aspect of life everyday. He’s done exactly that. I’m headed out of state for some medical treatment next month and had adopted Push It as my official theme song on my road to recovery, how fitting after listening to these interviews!

[@losingpartsofme6542]

The gems he dropped was amazing! Real talk. Breathe of fresh air. Nothing more attractive then a man leading. Emotionally, Physically and Mentally. Happy Birthday Kevin Gates

This interview came from the heart the real fans since 2012 know his waited for years to speak on alot of bs going on in the industry towards him. I hope the world hears this and stops being stupid and listen to what he saying. Kevin is ready for life in every aspect everything he says is facts. I love you mane! This shit was spiurtal

[@lifeofstashamarie9547]

I felt what he said speaking on seeing things and nobody believing it. I saw two deaths right before they happened sat on my aunts bed and told her what was going to happened and it did she called me crying when it did. Some people really get signs that can’t be explained

[@khadijia42]

I love Kevin he is evolving and spiritually rising to his highest self. I love to hear the wisdom he speaks. You can only get that kind of wisdom from experiencing life. I don’t care what anyone says about him. I love him and I listen to him. I have watched him evolve and grow. He in my top 5 of rappers. You can tell he has changed by his eyes and his smile

I've been rocking with Kevin Gates since 2014 15 maybe and out of all artists who I listen to he is quite specifically one unique character who I can relate to. He is the voice of some of a lot of events that take place in my life. I can relate to him because I was and probably still is deeply rooted into my emotions. When he said kaza bringing healing to the world, that album specifically is a true jewel. That man really put his heart and soul into his music his whole life and you can't do nothing but respect it.
