MGK (Machine Gun Kelly) - Warning Shot
Artist: MGK (Machine Gun Kelly)
Featuring: Cassie
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Lace Up
Label: Bad Boy/Interscope
With the lyrical ammunition Machine Gun Kelly‘s been spraying across the hip-hop blogosphere for the past couple years, I find it hard to believe that any tuned-in head could be unaware of the Cleveland representatives impending takeover of the game. If you happen not to have gotten the memo, however, you can consider his latest feature a Warning Shot across your figurative bow. Originally included on compilation Bad Boy Presents the Preview but repurposed for inclusion on the artist’s forthcoming solo EP, this joint finds MGK rocking the mic like a man with something to prove. Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem handles production, serving up an unusually aggressive synth-soaked backdrop for verses which find the freestyle alum positioning himself among the game’s greats: “‘Cause I wreck sh*t can’t tame me, I’m Eminem and I’m Jay-Z / I’m the renegade of this rap sh*t, me and all my boys like A Team.” (He also compares himself, for reasons that I can’t fathom, to Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx.) Bad Boy labelmate Cassie guests, echoing the headliner’s lofty sentiments on the chorus. Now that you’ve officially been warned, are you craving more? You don’t have long to wait: Half Naked and Almost Famous is scheduled to hit online retailers tomorrow, March 20.

This is the type of record I would expect MGK to make, because after all that is kinda of how the man got signed to his current label deal. Cassie, as a guest hook singer, seems in her vocal element (if you catch my drift).

I'm just not a fan of MGK, I can't relate to his music at all. Cassie's hook is catchy, I guess Diddy wanted his Bad Boy artists on a track.

This track goes pretty hard. MGK has a good flow and Cassie was great on the chorus. Definitely good for a next single.
