Rapper\u00a0Machine Gun Kelly<\/a>, aka MGK, may be on tour with Limp Bizkit, but that isn’t stopping him from taking a night that the tour has off to stop up to Albany to play the Washington Avenue Armory<\/a>. The 24-year old is no stranger to Albany fans who have packed the place last year to see this dynamic young star. \u00a0MGK released his second full album last year,\u00a0Black Flag<\/em>, and is perhaps best known for his many mixed tapes that he released leading up to being signed by Diddy three years ago to Bad Boy Records.<\/p>\n

“I got the name Machine Gun Kelly<\/a> because of my rapid-fire delivery when I was 15 and started doing shows,” says MGK. \u00a0That rapid delivery is still there mixed with the maturity of time. \u00a0Fans relate to his lyrics, coming from a broken home and being an outcast in tough neighborhoods with no brothers or sisters to look out for him. \u00a0Colson Baker moved around as a child and was essentially raised simultaneously by his father and the streets after his mother left him at a young age. Ready for the prime time, MGK is on a shooting star and passengers should hop aboard now.<\/p>\n

Mark your calendars for an\u00a0Oct. 4 date with openers to be announced soon.\u00a0Tickets are available now at Ticketfly<\/a>. \u00a0Avid Entertainment has promised an exciting fall line-up for the second largest venue in the city, and this, along with other fall dates previously announced such as, Masquerave, Pierce the Veil, Slayer, it is a good indication that they holding true to their word.<\/p>\n

A hint at a big announcement yesterday by Washington Avenue Armory’s Michael Corts gave us a hint as to whom may be announced. His partner at Avid Entertainment, Darren Sparato, all but confirmed my educated guess this morning.<\/p>\n

Early tour releases already showcased a New York City date on October 8 and a Boston date on October 10, with a\u00a0few off\u00a0dates in October as the only viable option. The big hint in the clue was 19XX. Did it mean the band 1975, a reference to Van Halen’s famous album\u00a01984<\/em>, or Prince’s party anthem, “1999”? No, I think it paid reference to Machine Gun Kelly’s chest tattoo, Est. 19XX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
