When Tickets To My Downfall dropped in 2020, it marked a major crossover moment for MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly). After years rooted in hip-hop—with past collaborations alongside Sleeping With Sirens and name-drops of blink-182 in “Her Song”—the album solidified his transformation into a full-fledged pop-punk frontman.

It topped charts, divided critics, and reignited interest in Warped Tour-era guitar music—all while proving MGK could thrive outside the rap world. Since… Read more »
