Machine Gun Kelly

Prohibition-era kidnapper nickname

Machine Gun Kelly is the stage name of Colson Baker, an American rapper and musician who emerged in the early 2010s with a rapid-fire delivery that inspired his alias.

He later pivoted toward pop-punk, collaborating with Travis Barker: Machine Gun Kelly's new album leans more rock than rap.

The name references George "Machine Gun Kelly" Barnes, a Prohibition-era gangster.
