Machine Gun Kelly Unleashes New Single 'Pressure'

Machine Gun Kelly recently released an intense new single, called "Pressure."

"Pressure" sees MGK's return to the rap genre after he drifted towards pop-punk for his past two albums, Tickets To My Downfall (2020) and Mainstream Sellout (2022).

"Everything's destined, it was inevitable I take on his aggression," MGK raps in the second verse. "Mad at the world 'cause I'm feelin' rejected/ Guess that I gotta die to be a legend."

Meanwhile, the lyrics include name-dropping Dua Lipa, Wiz Khalifa, and Young Thug.

"Pressure" comes along with a Sam Cahill-directed video, which features a cameo appearance from Pete Davidson as well as former World of Dance champions Elevated Crew.

Alleged Takeoff Shooter Indicted For Murder

A Texas grand jury has indicted Patrick Xavier Clark, the man accused of shooting rapper Takeoff, on murder charges.

Several agencies have reported that the Harris County District Attorney's Office has confirmed that Clark was formally charged with murder on May 25.

Takeoff, who was part of the trio Migos alongside Quavo and Offset, died on November 1, 2022 after he was shot at a bowling alley in Houston.

Police said there was an altercation happening in front of the building that Takeoff was not involved in, but he got caught in the crossfire. An autopsy revealed the rapper died from two gunshot wounds - one to the head and one to the torso.

Police arrested Clark based on reviewed video evidence of the shooting outside the bowling alley that showed he was the only person whose physical positioning aligned with the angle at which Takeoff was struck before collapsing to the ground. A wine bottle found at the crime scene later had Clark's fingerprints.

Clark was released on a $1 million bond in January. An attorney representing Clark told KHOU that the indictment was not unexpected due to a "minimal standard of proof."
