Penning rhymes about everything from addiction to family issues, MGK is a symbol of relentless perseverance to his fans and the MC is about to begin the next chapter of his already successful career.
Born Colson Baker in Houston, Texas, MGK lived almost a dozen places, including Egypt, before moving to Denver, Colorado with his father after his mother began a new life with a new man.
Though the father and son had each other, they couldn't lay claim to much else. As his dad fought depression and unemployment, the young MC split his time between wearing two school outfits and being bullied by the neighborhood kids. And though he "wasn't popular at all," the lanky kid was good at battling his middle school challengers. It was then the teen began experimenting with drugs and recorded his first demo tape.
Without supervision, MGK stopped attending school and like 50 Cent, the high school freshmen, made a name for himself by calling out elder classmates. In , his father moved MGK to Kuwait, where the teen got into even more trouble. Eventually, the pair were forced back stateside and settled in Cleveland, Ohio. In May of that year, he released the single "Hollywood Whore," the first offering from his fourth album, Hotel Diablo. After Hotel Diablo , things shifted for Machine Gun Kelly , as his focus became more split between music and acting.
On the music side of things, the rock-leaning Travis Barker collaboration "I Think I'm Okay" led to the duo working on more songs together and ultimately to Barker acting as executive producer on fifth album Tickets to My Downfall. Singles that preceded the record were a sharp turn from Machine Gun Kelly 's established rap sound. In April , he released "Bloody Valentine," an upbeat and melodic emo pop song dotted with synth touches. Successive singles "Concert for Aliens" and "Misery Business" followed a similar stylistic change-up.
Tickets to My Downfall was released in late September and became Kelly 's first number one album. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to use the site fully. Blues Classical Country.
