Machine Gun Kelly

Colson Baker is better known by his stage name Machine Gun Kelly. His stage name was given for his rapid-fire lyrical flow and is a reference to notorious criminal George "Machine Gun Kelly" Barnes. MGK was born in Houston, Texas and experienced multiple moves until 2005 when he and his family settled in Cleveland, Ohio - the city Kelly associates himself with the most. He is signed to Bad Boy and Interscope Records. He rose to fame after releasing his first four mixtapes from 2006-2010.
