Colson Baker (born April 22, 1990), better known as Machine Gun Kelly or MGK, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor from Cleveland, Ohio.Getting his name from his fast, rapid-fire lyrics (alongside the Prohibition-era gangster of the same name), he released his first mixtape in 2006. In 2009, he became the first rapper to win at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, boosting his rise to popularity.In 2011, while at SXSW, he caught the attention of Sean Combs, who signed him on to his record label, Bad Boy Records. His first EP, Half Naked & Almost Famous, dropped in 2012, with his debut album, Lace Up, arriving later that same year, which met with success. Since then, he has been nominated for a number of award categories, while his music continues to chart.Beginning in 2019, he started to move away from hip-hop towards Pop Punk, forming a strong collaborative relationship with Travis Barker of blink-182 fame that resulted in far greater commercial success than he'd previously seen, and sparking a revival in mainstream interest in the genre in The New '20s.Due to a certain beef he was involved in, Machine Gun Kelly makes appearances in Eminem's Slim Shady mythology. Tropes to do with his unflattering characterisation under his rival's pen belong on Eminem — Beefs.

Power Ballad: "Bad Things", a song about abusive love, is noticeably slower than most of his work, possibly in an attempt to appeal to more Top-40-friendly audience; it even features pop star Camila Cabello singing the hook.

New Sound Album: His fifth album Tickets to My Downfall is a straightforward Pop Punk album in comparison to his past four albums, which are rooted in Hip-Hop with the latter Hotel Diablo incorporating Rap Rock.

Sampling: "Bad Things" interpolates the hook from Fastball's "Out Of My Head", while "All I Know" does the same to "Knowledge" by Operation Ivy.

Motive Misidentification: Accused Eminem of dissing him and blackballing him from his radio station because of an old tweet he made in which he gushed about how Eminem's daughter was hot (she was underage at the time). In Eminem's Diss Track "Killshot", he reveals the real reason he dissed him is because "I just don't like you, prick".

Take That!: "Rap Devil" is this to Eminem's diss track "Not Alike", which was a jab towards him and Eminem in turn would return in response with "Killshot".

Cover Version: In wake of George Floyd's death, he recorded a cover of Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" with blink-182's Travis Barker. He also covered "Misery Business" by Paramore and "Love on the Brain" by Rihanna as part of his "Lockdown Sessions" during the COVID-19 Pandemic lockdown. They both became bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of Tickets to My Downfall.

Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Early in his career, when he was making hip-hop music, he wore clothes associated with famous rappers and tried to act "gangsta" in his songs (a good example of this being "Warning Shot"). Later, he started dressing in an androgynous punk style similar to the only recently departed Lil Peep.
