Last summer at his annual EST Fest, Machine Gun Kelly handed 5,000 fans a card. On that card, there were many things, including the title of his upcoming sophomore album, which we now know will be called General Admission. There is no official release date, as of yet, but one has to believe that the album will be here sooner than later.

MGK is also gearing up to hit the road, for what is sure to be a high-energy summer tour. Below are the dates. Catch a show, if he’s in a city near you.

In a world filled with drama and turmoil, amongst other things, Machine Gun Kelly aims to uplift, with the self-directed visual to his upbeat, positive song, “A Little More”, which features up and coming singer Victoria Monet. The Cleveland emcee’s sophomore album is due out later this year, and with singles like this one and “Till I Die”, you can expect MGK to once again, use the music to merge different cultures.

Machine Gun Kelly’s recent No Class Tour sold out venue after venue, giving fans the ultimate live show experience, as it was often hard to tell if you were at a rap or rock concert.

In this installment of his KellyVision series, MGK documents the second half of the tour. Between awesome footage and crazy backstage antics, it’s all here in this clip.

MGK originally intended this to be a quick collection of tracks, and it turned into a free album of sorts. The Cleveland rapper said he felt hungrier during this project, following a not-so-satisfying debut album Lace Up (which actually had some potential). Listen below and see if Kells is back to the rapid-fire flow and passion that made him a fan favorite.

Last night Cleveland’s raging knight celebrated the release of his debut album, Lace Up. Few people can say the rage like MGK, and we can see why. Batman-ing from a stage beam is nothing new to this guy. shouts to Jordan Zirm for the flick.
