mgk

Delivering lyrics with the speed of a bullet train, Cleveland singer, songwriter, and actor mgk experienced a meteoric rise in late 2011 when he transitioned from grinding out self-released mixtapes to working with major labels. From there, the rapper has skyrocketed to superstar status, with each of his albums charting in the Top Ten. A beef with Eminem, a film career, and even some reality show appearances would follow as the high-powered lyrical rap style of albums like 2019's Hotel Diablo morphed into a driving emo rock sound on collaborations with Travis Barker and on the Barker-produced 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall, which topped the Billboard 200. He also worked with Barker on 2022's Mainstream Sellout, once again topping the Billboard 200 and earning his first-ever Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album. In 2024, mgk teamed with Trippie Red for the collaborative EP genre: sadboy.
