Machine Gun Kelly, also known as MGK, stopped by The LiftOff to remind everyone that Hip Hop will always be his core.

Addressing some backlash that MGK has recently received from fans, the Cleveland native put some things on the table, in his recent interview with the LA Leakers, to completely remind his naysayers just who he remains to be in the industry.

Sporting a red puffer jacket, reminiscent of the 90’s era MGK has been inspired by, the rapper started off by saying:

I just want to remind people, [that with] all these recent hits aside, music is still really fun to me and the essence of hip hop bleeds through me every day. And I think that a hit can blind people sometimes, and this is the core and where it all started.

Coming off the success of his hit “Bad Things,” which features former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello, and more recently won a Radio Disney award, MGK has been named a “sell out” by some fans for a record that Kelly only wants his proper acknowledgment for as a cross-over songwriter.

Machine Gun Kelly also speaks about his upcoming album ‘Bloom,’ which he calls his ‘confidence album’ and features some suprise guests.
