Machine Gun Kelly ‘Tickets to My Downfall’: Release date, tracklist, concept and all the pre-buzz around rapper's pop-punk album

MGK's new project, which is his fifth album, is more of a guitar-driven pop-punk album, marking a departure from his usual rap songs

Colson Baker, who is more popular with his stage name Machine Gun Kelly, is all set to entertain his fans with his brand new album titled ‘Tickets to My Downfall.’ The American rapper from Cleveland, Ohio has been teasing his fans about his new record from the last few months.

The 30-year-old singer-songwriter had announced his fifth studio album on his official Twitter account on September 4, 2020, where he simply shared the cover art of the album along with the official tracklist. He had tweeted, “Album cover and track list #TicketsToMyDownfall 9/25”

However, Machine Gun Kelly, also abbreviated as MGK, was forced to change it later after it was revealed that his album cover art belonged to a photographer. He then came up with a lot of different posters in order to replace the previous one. MGK had also shared a behind-the-scenes video for the cover shoot for his upcoming album.
