MGK & Trippie Redd Sneak In A Subtle JID Feature On “Who Do I Call”

by

For the latter parts of mgk and Trippie Redd’s careers, both artists have a had a tough go of it from critics and even fans. Their recent projects have not been people’s favorites and the same could be said for their first-ever collaborative outing. The two Ohio natives had a lot of skeptics on their radar when they announced their 10-track EP genre : sadboy. Its title and cover art alone had fans scoffing at it. However, tracks like mgk and Trippie’s “who do i call,” have been proving the doubters wrong.

Trippie and mgk are not alone on “who do i call” either. JID, delivers a bit of an unsuspecting verse at the beginning and provides adlibs later on. All three rappers are singing and spitting about a previous relationship that has lost its spark. With those women gone all three are left asking themselves “who do i call,” to help give their lives meaning again. While the story is a bit by the numbers, JID does a good job fitting into the track.

Quotable Lyrics:

I never been a n**** that them b*****s laughed at

If I’m runnin’ then I’m winnin’ in the last lap
(Who is still on the road?)
She tried to push me to thе limit, but I’m passed that

MGK & Trippie Redd Wallow In Their Sorrows On New EP “Genre : Sadboy”

by

Trippie Redd and mgk are two legends in the Ohio rap scene. Both artists have taken on multiple genres across their careers from pop punk to emo rap, and much more. They have been close collaborators as well, so it makes sense why these two are bringing us a full body of work. Considered an EP, genre : sadboy sees Trippie Redd and mgk give us 10 cuts of ranging across those aforementioned genres.

According to Genius, this has been in the making for a couple of years. In fact, 2021 was the first time that this idea was brought up. Trippie did an interview with Bleu Magazine, expressing how hype he was to rep Ohio on the now-released genre : sadboy. “Me and mgk are working on an album actually on some Ohio s***. I want to get Kid Cudi on it, too. That’s my boy, I love him. We came up with a name that plays off of Ohio. And it’s gon’ be a mix of rock and hip-hop music. That’s our album together… It would be Ohio’d out.”

Listen To Genre : Sadboy By MGK & Trippie Redd

Three years later the project is here. The duo gave us the lead and only single “lost boys” on March 26. Some fans were not too excited about this release, saying how mgk is too old to be making tracks like this. A good deal of the EP delves into pretty surface-level topics about drugs, addiction, relationships and the standard tropes of emo and punk. JID is the lone feature, making an uncredited cameo on “who do i call.” Unfortunately, this tape is pretty standard, but it is cool that mgk and Trippie made this happen. 

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, genre : sadboy, by mgk and Trippie Redd? Is this each rapper’s best project of their careers, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward and why? Who had the stronger performances on the record? Do you think they should drop another project together in the future?

A Producer Insulted Trippie Redd And Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Genre:Sadboy,’ And Things Got Ugly Quick

by

MGK (the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly) and Trippie Redd will release their recently announced joint project, Genre:Sadboy, on Friday, March 29. One producer will no longer be credited.

On Monday, March 25, a musician going by Kaixan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “the way I just learned I have a beat placement in this this morning and I know it’s bout to be the worst song I’ve ever heard.” The comment was in response to OnThinIce’s post about Genre:Sadboy‘s release date. On Wednesday night, March 29, Trippie Redd responded to Kaixan. “Thanks for letting me know. You have been removed from the album. Good luck.”

Of course, it didn’t end there. Is Twitter beef ever succinct? Kaixan wrote, “thank God ur label paid me in advance [crying emoji, cry-laughing emoji, peace sign emoji],” but Trippie Redd didn’t back down, writing, “This cap. I’ll double the money if you show proof you got paid [blue baseball cap emoji].” MGK also chimed in. “Played himself for twitter likes [clown emoji].”

It’s unclear which Genre:Sadboy song featured Kaixan’s beat, not that it matters anymore. Across several posts, Kaixan went on to explain the issue with being associated with MGK and Trippie, as excerpted below:

“Yall think this funny but name another time a producer has stood by their morals. Most of yall to this day would silently work with terrible corrupt people just for an opportunity. I promise you despite what they say you can still make it in this industry as yourself.

Please never stop being true to yourself and true to the music. Yall got this. That’s all imma say hope yall have a good week.

Please redirect trippie hate to mgk cuz I never said I had an issue with bro I just don’t wanna be tied to no minor lover.”

MGK and Trippie Redd dropped Genre:Sadboy (Documentary) last week and “Lost Boys” on Tuesday, March 26. Watch the documentary above, or watch the “Lost Boys” video below.

MGK & Trippie Redd Deliver Their Version Of An Emo Anthem On “Lost Boys”

by

Trippie Redd and mgk have been two of Ohio’s biggest hip-hop stars for well over a decade combined. Part of the reason for their everlasting success is their ability to switch up their respective sounds on the fly. Both of artists have been flourishing in the emo and pop punk spaces over the last few years and that especially goes for mgk. Coming Friday March 29, Trippie and mgk will be dropping a new EP together and to promote it they have just dropped “lost boys.”

This is the lead single for genre : sadboy, a 10-song project. So far, fans are not looking forward to what these two have to offer on it. People are in mgk’s comments saying how this is the “worst album of the year incoming.” They also feel mgk, who is now 33, is too old to be making music like this. “We got dudes pushin 30 doin this. wtf man 😒”

Listen To “Lost Boys” By MGK & Trippie Redd

Time will tell how this project turns out, but for now we have “lost boys” to discuss. We can see why music fans are not too happy about what this could be. Some of the lyrics are pretty surface level for the genre. For example, Trippie says on the chorus, “It’s just one of those nights again / No one wants their life to end.” The production is also fairly standard, although it does not sound bad. At end of the day, it is a passable track, but not too much more.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “lost boys,” by mgk and Trippie Redd? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not? Does this track get you amped for their upcoming EP? Who had the better performance on the record? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

One is for all those I love, this one’s for the suicide
Everything is blue inside, everyone at you and I
People won’t say how they feel about you until you die
Everything’s cinematic, protagonist catches a bad habit
By the end, he’s a damn addict
Leave him guessin’, make a sequel

Machine Gun Kelly And Trippie Redd Announced Their ‘Genre:Sadboy’ Project With A Very Sad Song Snippet

by

Keeping up with Machine Gun Kelly’s announcements is a full-time job. Or is it only “mgk” now? He may or may not have changed his stage name earlier this month. In February, MGK revealed an all-black, nearly full-torso tattoo. And that’s without even mentioning his on-again, off-again relationship with Megan Fox. But in January, MGK wrote something on X (formerly Twitter) that unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) correlates with his latest announcement: “Ultimately, I’m sad at how people perceive me in general.”

On Wednesday, March 20, MGK and Trippie Redd announced Genre:Sadboy, “a project by us.” It will arrive next Friday, March 29.

The punk-rap artists (and fellow Ohioans) jointly introduced the project with a black-and-white Instagram video showing them vibing in the studio to one of their unreleased songs, and it’s particularly sad — even by Genre:Sadboy standards.

“I recorded two tonight,” MGK sings. “One is for all those I love, this one’s for the suicide / Everything is blue inside / Everyone ain’t you and I / People won’t say how they feel about you until you die.”

Genre:Sadboy also has its own Instagram page, which could mean that MGK and Trippie’s collaborative partnership will extend beyond what drops on March 29. This afternoon, March 21, MGK and Trippie Redd premiered a YouTube documentary about the project this afternoon, giving deeper insight into the process behind it and what can be expected from it.

As long as we’re drawing parallels between MGK’s recent online behavior and Genre:Sadboy, we may as well do the same for Trippie Redd. In late January, he went on Instagram Live to (yet again) shut down rumors that he worships the devil.

“I’m just a weirdo, bro,” Trippie said, in part. “I like to get tats on my face! I like to wear all black! I like to look goth! Feel me? Sh*t’s a lifestyle. Maybe I’m depressed. Maybe I like to be the gloomy one in the room. I’m from Ohio. It’s always gloomy there. Y’all don’t get it. I’m a real sadboi. I’m a real loner. Maybe I hide it with my personality and sh*t, but so what? I’m human.”

MGK last released Mainstream Sellout in 2022, while Trippie dropped Mansion Musik, A Love Letter To You 5, and Saint Michael throughout 2023.

Trippie Redd Teases Forthcoming “LIFE’S A TRIP 2” With “LWRW”

by

Canton, Ohio multi-hyphenate Trippie Redd is certified hitmaker. We have seen it time and time again over the course of his prolific career. He is never afraid to experiment and has pretty impressive range in general. However, it seems some of that magic has been a little trickier to recapture over the last couple of years or so. While there are some quality tracks sprinkled throughout his past several releases, the consistency looks to have faltered.

Trippie Redd is looking to bring back that hype with a new single “LWRW.” It will take about a couple of weeks to see if this effort resonates. However, for us, it comes across as a little to repetitive. We never like saying any music is mediocre, but it just falls a little flat.

Listen To “LWRW” By Trippie Redd

It is not a terrible track by any means. But, it is passable at best. But, at least “LWRW” is leading up to something larger. According to Genius, this track is going to be a single for follow-up to LIFE’S A TRIP, his fan-favorite 2018 record. He shared this news on his Instagram back in early December in a now-deleted post with the caption, “Life’s a Trip 2 Every last song will be recorded on a yacht. Taking trips for this ! gotta see the world and work.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “LWRW,” by Trippie Redd? Is this one of his strongest tracks in recent memory, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the song and why? Does this get you excited or sour your expectations for LIFE’S A TRIP 2? Do you see him dropping the sequel this year?

Self-Proclaimed ‘Weirdo’ Trippie Redd Requested Everyone ‘Stop Saying I Worship The Devil,’ Which, Fair

by

For whatever reason, people alleging devil worship has become a hot trend in music. Lil Nas X went through it, spurning on the trolls with “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” Doja Cat is currently at the center of it, and she continues to fight against claims she’s in The Illuminati as a satanist in regular interviews as well as a spoof interview with her alter ego.

Now, it’s Trippie Redd’s turn. On Wednesday, January 31, the rapper went on Instagram Live and shut down relentless speculation that he, too, worships the devil.

“Bro, I don’t worship the f*cking devil,” he said, as captured by No Jumper and XXL. “I don’t know why you [expletive] keep saying that sh*t. Stop saying I worship the devil, bro. Like, what the f*ck? I can’t wear all black? I been wearing all black! That’s my theme. I just don’t get it. Like, stop saying I worship the f*cking devil.”

Trippie also asked God to “cleanse these people’s hearts” because “sitting here judging somebody and bullying them is the new standard to, ‘Oh, let’s bully him into God’.” He clarified, “I already f*ck with God.” The rapper casually walked through his mansion to show viewers he is “blessed and highly favored” and “not a hater,” so, contrary to popular belief, “I could really be a savior.”

In case viewers still weren’t convinced, Trippie Redd explained himself further. “Since [I was] a kid, I’ve always liked horror movies, and I like video games,” he said. “I’m just a weirdo, bro. I like to get tats on my face! I like to wear all black! I like to look goth! Feel me? Sh*t’s a lifestyle. Maybe I’m depressed. Maybe I like to be the gloomy one in the room. I’m from Ohio. It’s always gloomy there. Y’all don’t get it. I’m a real sadboi. I’m a real loner. Maybe I hide it with my personality and sh*t, but so what? I’m human.”

This isn’t the first time Trippie Redd has pushed back against satanist speculation. In March 2018, as relayed by Complex, he explained the real reason behind his frequent references to “666.”

“A lot of y’all are blind to reality,” he said in an Instagram Story at the time. “Six protons, six neutrons, six electrons. Melanin in Black people’s skin. Do your research. Now, why I say TR666? Because Trippie Redd is Black, but Trippie Redd is also dark. I make dark music, but I’m Black, so I use it as a metaphor. Make sure you do your research, man, because these people could be telling you, like, 666 is the mark of the beast.”
