Gates has also logged \nfour Top 5 entries on the Billboard Top 200 in addition to seven Top 5 \nentries on both the Top Rap Albums Chart and the Top R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop \nAlbums Charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yung Gravy&#8217;s musical style is a blend of modern \ntrap music with themes inspired by the soul and oldies movements of the \n1950s and 1960s, as well as 1970s and 1980s soul and funk music. His \n2018 EP &#8216;Snow Cougar&#8217; yielded a pair of gold-selling hits, jumping from \nearly Soundcloud success to the hottest playlists on Spotify. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets\n are free for Mansfield University students and can be picked up with \nuniversity ID at the Mountie Spirit Store.
