Machine Gun Kelly Reps His City in 'Till I Die' Video


Be proud of where you’re from and represent it to the fullest. Machine Gun Kelly serves a solid reminder of that in his new video for ‘Till I Die,’ the first single off his forthcoming sophomore album.


In the Casey McPerry-directed clip, the Bad Boy Records artist takes you on a tour of Cleveland, Ohio and shows you how much he’s loved and respected in his town. “Bitch, I’m from the ‘land, ’til I die, ’til I die / I’m an East Side ’til I die, ’til I die / Bumpin’ that Bone Thugs ’til I die, ’til I die / In the hood I’m good ’til I die, CLE ’til I die / Everywhere I go I’m puttin’ on, puttin’ on, puttin’ on,” he rhymes on the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production.


The entire video has a celebratory feel with local residents taking to the streets to support their hometown hero, who’s been shouting out his beloved city since day one.


There’s kids, adults, food trucks and a lot of jumping around and dancing going on — you can practically see the hometown pride on people’s faces. Even Kelly’s daughter makes an appearance.
