Rapper Machine Gun Kelly is constantly redefining the genre of music and establishing himself as one of the most unique artists in music. On his birthday, MGK released a track called “Sail” set to the hit of the same title from Awolnation.
First of all, what musician goes about giving gifts on their birthday?
The track was well received by his fans who have played it more than 300,000 times on Soundcloud already today. That by itself is impressive considering it could be downloaded and loaded to iPods, iPhones and other MP3 playing devices and listened too outside of the app as well.
To honor his fans for hitting the 300,000 listen mark, MGK released yet another gift for his legions of fans, a video to the same song. This video might be one of his finest yet. It is almost an entirely continuous shot, but there is so much more to this video that only his fans might be able to understand and appreciate it.
The video starts off with him in a white shirt rapping to “Chip Off The Block,” one of his breakout singles off his Lace Up mixtape. Dressed like he is in the video, he starts there and periodically through the video changes clothes subtly almost like you aren’t noticing to show the evolution of him as an artist.
