Machine Gun Kelly and Trippie Redd released their most recent album, "genre: sadboy" on March 29.

‘genre: sadboy’ captures artists out of their depth

By Billy Wood, Sports Editor April 4, 2024
Ever since Machine Gun Kelly released “Tickets To My Downfall” in September 2020, the once-hardened rap star has been imitating a pop punk sound that has granted him great commercial success.

One of those artists, Trippie Redd, has collaborated with Kelly on numerous occasions but never in the volume of their new collab EP, “genre: sadboy,” which was announced via a surprise social media snippet March 23 and the full 10 song EP was released March 29. While the album attempts to capture the sound of emo rap, the only thing it captures is the sound of two artists that are far out of their arena.
