Machine Gun Kelly has released a steady stream of music ever since his infamous feud with Eminem in 2018. Shortly after dropping "Rap Devil," he came through with the Binge EP which definitely didn't sell as well as it should considering the beef he was engulfed in. While the two rappers have thrown jabs at each other online, MGK has continued to move forward with his career. Last week, he unleashed his single, "Breaking News 2" as he announced Hotel Diablo. Now, he comes through with another new track for his fans.
Machine Gun Kelly has shown his versatility as an artist over the years. On his latest drop, he takes a break from being an MC and delivers a cover of Billie Eilish's song, "Ocean Eyes" from her 2017 album, dont smile at me. The rapper delivers a more rock-infused take on the effort while maintaining elements of the original song's production.
Peep his take below.
Quotable Lyrics
I've been watchin' you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
