Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Trippie Redd's upcoming collaboration is set to release this Friday on all DSPs. The much-awaited album is titled genre:sadboy, which alludes to the tracks on this record being deeply emotional, somber, and introspective.
The news was announced by the duo on social media with an image of MGK standing alongside Trippie Redd with the album's title written across the picture.
This project comes on the heels of MGK's latest single Don't Let Me Go, in which he recounted his past experiences, highlighting his struggles with mental health, drug abuse, addiction, and more.
With Kelly's music taking a detour from traditional Punk Rock to more somber aesthetics, the upcoming album is set to captivate fans as Trippie is well-versed in this kind of music production, which fans caught a glimpse of in his A Love Letter To You series and his feature on the XXXTENTACION record F*ck Love.
