Colson Baker (born April 22 in 1990) is an American artist and rapper. He is also often referred to as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), a songwriter, actor and performer. His fusion of genres of alternative rock and hip-hop is what made him famous. The mixtapes he released were four from 2007 until the year 2010, after which he signed to Bad Boy Records. His debut album entitled Lace Up (2012 and peaking at the 4th spot on the US Billboard 200), included the hit track "Wild Boy" with Waka Flocka Flam. General Admission (2015) and Bloom 2017 were his second and third albums. The latter included the smash single "Bad Things", which was sung by Camila Cabello. It reached fourth place on the Billboard Hot 100. The fourth album, Hotel Diablo (2018), featured rap rock. Machine Gun Kelly's fifth album Tickets to My Downfall was released in the year 2020. The album was an unorthodox departure from hip-hop and a move into pop punk. The track "My Ex's Best Friend" debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200. It was the first rock album to be able to attain the top spot. It was followed up by Mainstream Sellout (2022), which saw him achieve the same commercial success. The singer has appeared in the thriller Nerve (2016) as well as the horror Bird Box (2018) and the comedy Big Time Adolescence, as well as the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).
