In the early 2010s, the hip-hop scene was buzzing with two rising stars: Jelly Roll and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK). Both artists, known for their raw lyrics and distinctive styles, initially viewed each other as competitors. This rivalry led to tensions, with Jelly Roll even releasing a diss track titled "Malibu's Most Wanted" aimed at MGK. The animosity was palpable, and their interactions were far from friendly.
The Turning Point
Fast forward to 2024, and the landscape has changed dramatically. Jelly Roll and MGK have not only reconciled but have also become close friends and collaborators. Their journey from adversaries to allies is a testament to personal growth and mutual respect. The catalyst for this transformation was a candid conversation where both artists acknowledged their past misunderstandings and expressed a desire to move forward.

Their newfound friendship culminated in the release of "Lonely Road," a heartfelt country track that samples John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads." The song, released on July 26, 2024, marks a significant shift in both artists' musical directions. The accompanying music video features cameos from their significant others, Megan Fox and Bunnie Xo, adding a personal touch to the collaboration.
