As we all know, the epidemic of children growing up in broken homes is very real. Taking the time out to bring attention to that is Machine Gun Kelly as he delivers the stirring new visual for “Gone”, from his latest album, General Admission.

In the Casey McPerry-directed clip, complete with candid home video footage, MGK raps about his current absence in his daughter’s life, due to chasing fame, as well as the void left by his own father who moved away without much notice, five years ago.

“This song is dedicated to every broken home. It’s never too late to fix it”

Watch “Gone”, above and pick up General Admission, if you haven’t yet.

After releasing vieos for “Gone” and “Numb,” Ill Poetic finally delivers with his new EP. He describes the sound as a  “psychedelic blend of Outkast, Roger Troutman and Parliament.” He breaks down the recording process as such:

To say we’ve been looking forward to this day is an understatement. After four years of greyhound traveling, session recording, show rehearsals, consultations, video editing, brain-storming, sound-building, mixing & mastering, touring, giving up, not giving up, giving up again, not giving up again, macaroni & cheese dinners, no lunches, no breakfasts, little sleep, and questionable hygiene practices, we finally present to you Synesthesia: The Yellow Movement EP.

The EP is a name-your-price release, and if you’d like to contribute you can do so over here. Otherwise, feel free to stream and download below. Synesthesia Blue and Red are on the way.
