MGK’s First Official EP Comes Out Today

The first record under MGK’s deal with Diddy’s record company comes out today.

The Half Naked & Almost Famous EP is now available in all the usual places where you buy music these days.

The five-song EP — released on the 19XX/Bad Boy/Interscope label — features “Wild Boy,” the Cleveland rapper’s hit collaboration with Waka Flocka Flame.

Other songs on Half Naked & Almost Famous include “Warning Shot,” “See My Tears,” “EST 4 Life,” and the title track.

The EP was recently recorded in a Cleveland basement and serves as a teaser to MGK’s full-length debut, which is due later this year.

In other MGK news, he won something called the Breaking Woodie Award from mtvU.

It’s kinda like a dick-joke version of the Grammy’s Best New Artist award. So, congratulations on that. —Michael Gallucci
