Bad Boy Records has gone through a major transformation and has regained its rightful spot as one of the contending labels in the game. Along with Cash Money Records, the house built by Diddy lost out on Rick Ross’ Maybach Music. For both companies, the loss was a blessing in disguise.
During the summer of 2011, Machine Gun Kelly was signed to the label and he brought a different element to the Bad Boy name. Keeping things traditional, French Montana also signed to the label, out of The Bronx, joining Red Cafe. In addition to this, Los, who is from Baltimore, also signed to Bad Boy Records.
Machine Gun Kelly is the first out of this new generation of “bad boys” to release an album. Last fall, Machine Gun Kelly released his Lace Up album, which did exceptionally well. Now, Machine Gun Kelly has launched a tour for his album, which is set to begin later this week.
