Genre: Sadboy is a collaborative extended play by American rappers MGK and Trippie Redd. It was released on March 29, 2024.

Background[edit]

MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) and Trippie Redd are both Ohio natives and collaborated on several tracks prior to the release of Genre: Sadboy.[1] They first collaborated in 2019, when Redd was featured on the track "Candy" on MGK's fourth studio album, Hotel Diablo.[2] Redd was featured again on "All I Know", a track off of MGK's 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall.[2] A majority of the album was recorded at Record Plant Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California.[2]

Release[edit]

The duo announced the album in a March 23, 2024, Instagram post featuring a snippet of the song "Lost Boys".[1][2] On March 25, 2024, in response to a post about the album's release, a producer named Kaixan wrote on X, "the way I just learned I have a beat placement in this this morning and I know it's bout to be the worst song I've ever heard."[3] Following his tweet, Trippie Redd responded and said he was removing Kaixan from the album.[3] On March 26, 2024, they released their first track, "Lost Boys", as a single with an accompanying music video.[4] Genre: Sadboy was released on March 29, 2024.[5] A mini-documentary, directed by Sam Cahill, was released alongside the album, giving fans a look at the rappers' creative process in the studio, as well as behind-the-scenes music video footage.[6]

To promote the album, the duo announced two free concerts, scheduled for April 2, 2024, at Irving Plaza in New York City, and April 4 at the Bluestone in Columbus, Ohio.[5][7]
