Machine Gun Kelly may not have a huge radio hit at the moment, but he’s been touring the world with sold out shows…thanks to his hardcore fan base. Much like the underground king Tech N9ne or even Joe Budden (sans the L&HH thing), MGK’s fans go HARD for their favorite artist, and show their devotion through attending the shows…and getting tatted up! Just skimming through K’s Instagram page, I grabbed a bunch of pics he shares on his ‘Fan Fridays,’ and there’s some dope stuff in there! Check out some of the EST fam’s ink in the gallery. Lace up!
(Photos) Aw, How Dope! Check Out How MGK’s Fans Are Supporting Him With His Broken Foot!
Earlier this month, Machine Gun Kelly had a bit of a mishap while playing basketball, and ended up breaking his foot and fracturing his ankle! With a commitment to his fans after already having a ton of shows booked, MGK decided to forgo surgery…and with crutches, a wheelchair and his best friends and crew to help, made his way out to give the fans the show(s) they were looking forward to. Of course, they appreciate it, and have been showing their support for their favorite artist in the cutest ways! Check out what they’ve been doing at the shows in the gallery!
(Photos) On The Set: Machine Gun Kelly ft. Wiz Khalifa – Mind Of A Stoner
Just one day after releasing the powerful visual for “Swing Life Away,” Machine Gun Kelly is back to work on yet another video off his Black Flag project. The Bad Boy rapper was joined by Taylor Gang’s own Wiz Khalifa out in California today for the video to their collab, “Mind Of A Stoner.” Taking to Instagram, Kels and Slim Gudz shared some images from the set, which appears to be a Hollywood backlot of some sort. Weed, women and fly wheels all appeared in the photos; the perfect recipe for the catchy song’s visual. In between shooting videos and doing shows around the globe, MGK has been back in the studio as of late to work on the follow up to his 2012 debut album, Lace Up. “This next album will be a great one,” the Cleveland native recently said. “I can feel it. Thank you guys for all your continued support, let’s make history.” Can’t wait to hear!
(Photos) Guess Which Rapper Has Started Working On Their Sophomore Album!
Exactly one year after releasing his debut album Lace Up via Bad Boy/Interscope, Machine Gun Kelly began work on numero dos. Flying out to Miami this weekend, MGK linked up with super-producer Jim Jonsin (Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop,” T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” etc.) and got in the studio to start crafting his sophomore effort. No name or release date just yet, but with someone like Jim in his corner, I’m sure this will turn out to be a good one! More pics from their weekend-long session in the gallery!
(Photos) Machine Gun Kelly Rages With Korn
A recent article I ready about Machine Gun Kelly described him best: “the last rap-rocker standing, an amalgamation of vintage Fred Durst’s snotty hubris and modern Eminem’s stadium-sized sincerity.” The Cleveland rapper is an interesting hybrid of rapper/rockstar, and over the weekend, he played at Korn’s annual Family Values concert in Denver, being the only rapper on a full rock lineup. This isn’t the first time he’s had an experience like this, as he played the Warped Tour a couple of years back, but it was definitely the biggest scale he’s done it on. “I haven’t been that nervous before a show in a long time,” he admitted to fans following the performance. “So much sh*t was on my f#cking mind, I hope I cleared it all out of my brain with the performance and I hope I introduced everyone who wasn’t familiar with MGK to the movement the right way. I’ll be back for a headlining show soon!! Thanks Korn and Family Values for having us! LTFU!” Check out his backstage photos in the gallery. Judging by fan reactions on Twitter, I think it’s safe to say, despite his nerves, the show was a success!
(Photos) Machine Gun Kelly Goes Down Under
You guys are pervs if you thought the title meant anything but traveling to Australia! (Although I don’t blame you if your mind wandered there…after all, we ARE talking about the guy who was getting head on stage at his own show!) Bad Boy rapper Machine Gun Kelly and his team made their way to Australia over the weekend for their first-ever tour there, and by the looks of the pics, he has quite a fanbase in the land down under! Check out MGK and his EST 19xx fam as they rock the stage from Perth to Brisbane in the gallery.
