mgk, formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly, has announced a new album called Lost Americana. The trailer is narrated by none other than Bob Dylan, who recently posted an old video of Machine Gun Kelly rapping in a record store.
“lost americana is a personal excavation of the American dream, a journey to find what’s been lost,” Dylan says in the teaser. “This album is a love letter to those who seek to rediscover—the dreamers, the drifters, the defiant. It’s a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the authentic essence of American freedom. From the glow of neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms.”
Though mgk has yet to publicly confirm that it is the real Dylan narrating the video, he shared a black and white photo of him in his Instagram Stories. Sources also confirmed to Variety that it is in fact Dylan. Other collaborators on lost americana, which is due August 8, include SlimXX, BazeXX, and Nick Long.
