The Cleveland rapper and actor, whose real name is Colson Baker, began making
waves in 2010 with his mixtape
Lace Up, which led to a record deal with the famed Bad Boy Records and his
debut LP of the same name. His second album
General Admission followed in 2015, as did
his 2016 smash hit with CamilaCabello,
Bad Things, which
peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track laid the foundations for
the release of his third full-length album,
Bloom, featuring James Arthur, Quavo, Hailee Steinfeld and Ty Dolla $ign.
MGK - who
hit headlines recently with news that he would be playing Motley Crue drummer
Tommy Lee in Netflix’s adaptation of the band’s biography ‘The Dirt’ - proved
to be one of the most popular sets at Bay
Dreams in early January.
“Undoubtedly one of the biggest
draw cards of the night had to be MGK; fans chanting his name long before he
arrived on stage… Arriving on stage in a red jacket and silver pants the hoards
pressed against the barrier lost their collective minds as both MGK and his
band of supremely talented musicians hit them with tracks such as ‘Golden God’,
‘At My Best’ and ‘Kiss The Sky’” - Ambient Light
