Machine Gun Kelly and his crew are always turnt up – whether on stage performing for a crowd of dedicated fans…or having a jam sesh in the car. Yesterday was the latter for the boys, as they drove to and from the studio with a wide range of songs playing, from old school records to their EST artist Dub-O’s new single, “Dope.” Check out both hilarious videos below, then download the JP Did This 1-produced single here.
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!
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!
On Friday night, bad boys Machine Gun Kelly and French Montana were set to kick off Grammy weekend in L.A. with a joint concert, but it ended up being postponed at the last minute. Unfortunately, some of MGK’s fans had flown out from across the country for the show, while others had driven for hours, so he and his team wanted to make their trip worth their while. Getting in touch with them through Twitter, Team MGK ended up putting together a really dope night at the beach, bringing fans to a bonfire with drinks, food and of course, Machine Gun Kelly. The rapper sat and talked with the fans for hours, even playing some of his songs on his guitar and having them sing along. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’m really glad I got to be a part of that! Check out a video of the night below and some pics in the gallery. #EST!
Machine Gun Kelly saw a great deal of success with his debut album Lace Up in 2012, and just recently, began work on his as-of-yet untitled sophomore effort. However, the Cleveland rapper has remained as humble as ever, and last night, linked up with his EST 19xx artist Tezo to whip up some pies in a local pizza shop! As far as I can tell, there were no cameras, no gimmicks, no ulterior motives — the guys simply wanted to get their hands dirty! “I enjoyed working in the kitchen yesterday,” MGK tweeted the morning after. “Not one person that ate a pizza or calzone in the restaurant knew mgk was makin em either. Dope.” That is dope! Check out some pics from their temporary career switch in the gallery!
