Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates could see freedom sooner than people think. The hip-hop artist is reportedly up for parole in 2018 despite receiving a 30-month prison sentence.

According to reports, Gates is serving his time in an Illinois facility and could get released in June 2018.

The Billboard chart-topping rapper Kevin Gates, sentenced last month to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to a gun charge in Chicago, is serving his time at the East Moline Correctional Center. The 31-year-old Gates — whose legal name is Kevin Jerome Gilyard — of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is projected to be released in June 2018, according to Illinois Department of Corrections online records.

This week, Gates’ wife Dreka teased fans about his upcoming “What If” music video premiere.

Over the past few days, various hip-hop artists have flexed their Gates support.

Last week, Kevin made headlines after receiving a 30-month sentence on a gun conviction.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois says Kevin appeared in court Wednesday and pled guilty to his original charge of felony gun possession. Remember, the outstanding weapons-related warrant popped up the same day he completed his sentence in Florida for kicking a woman in the face at one of his shows. The warrant was issued because Kevin failed to appear in court for the 2013 gun case. (TMZ)
