<p>As much as <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/latto-reveals-21-savage-feature-on-wheelie-drops-tiktok-dance-challenge-news.148883.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TikTok plays a role in breaking new music</a>, it&#8217;s also a massive tool in introducing older songs to a new generation. We&#8217;ve witnessed this with songs like &#8220;Cupid&#8217;s Chokehold&#8221; from Gym Class Heroes, &#8220;Day N Nite&#8221; by <a href="/profile/KidCudi" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kid Cudi</a>, and so many other songs that have seen a surge in streams a decade-plus after their initial release.</p>

<p>It looks like <a href="/profile/KevinGates" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kevin Gates</a> is experiencing some significant success off of the strength of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-doubles-down-on-anti-tiktok-statements-after-kim-kardashian-posts-new-video-of-north-news.149020.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TikTok.</a> His 2013 record, &#8220;Thinking With My Dick&#8221; ft. <a href="/profile/JuicyJ" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Juicy J</a> off of his <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/full-album-stream-for-kevin-gates-stranger-than-fiction-news.6437.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Stranger Than Fiction</a> </em>mixtape has witnessed a massive spike in popularity, thanks to its success on TikTok. However, it&#8217;s brought the song into the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Chart data revealed that the song has brought the song to #37 on the Hot 100.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an incredible feat for Kevin Gates who hasn&#8217;t necessarily charted as many songs in recent years. The success of &#8220;Thinking With My Dick&#8221; would make the song his second song to ever enter the top 40, following &#8220;2 Phones&#8221; which peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, fans have been anticipating new music from Kevin Gates. The rapper released <em>Only The Generals Part II</em> in 2021 as well as a slew of loose singles and freestyles.</p>
<p>Hopefully, he has a new album that he&#8217;s cooking up for a release this upcoming summer. </p>
