Richard Colson Baker — born in Houston, raised in Cleveland — became Machine Gun Kelly: a rapper-turned-rockstar who rewrote his own genre live on stage.
From rapid-fire flows on Lace Up (2012) to the pop-punk earthquake that was Tickets to My Downfall (2020), MGK has done what most artists never dare: burn the rulebook and start again. Multi-platinum. Number-one albums. Headlining arena tours. And now an entire new era with Lost Americana (2025).
This is a fan-made tribute — built by people who've been there since the rage, through the downfall, and out the other side. Lace up. Stay up.
A decade of evolution — from Cleveland street rap to stadium pop-punk.
