Machine Gun Kelly

On the front steps of Detroit's St. Andrews Hall, MGK performs an acoustic version of "Lose Yourself" for a small group of fans. 

Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly is hitting the road to future promote his debut album, Lace Up. The Bad Boy rapper will be embarking on a 17-city tour, which kicks off in Boston this Thursday.

The Cleveland Bad Boy rapper kicks off his thoughtful bars where it all began: in his basement. 

Even though MGK and his crew come from the Midwest, on "Ratchet" they spit their bars over a vintage Southern-sounding beat. 

Machine Gun Kelly recently got in touch with his holiday side and remixed the classic "12 Days Of Christmas" for MTV's "12 Holidaze" series.

The Cleveland rapper decided to give Mac's Macadelic track the Lace Up treatment, and deliver something that's a bit "Louder!"

Our friend Machine Gun Kelly had the highlight of his career when his solo debut album Lace Up was officially released. Now, the Cleveland rapper is letting the world know how the album was made.  

"The dark side is strong within you..." Yeah, that's clearly a Star Wars reference, but it certainly does apply to Machine Gun Kelly and his idol-turned-homie DMX.
