Video After The Jump
After all the votes were counted Machine Gun Kelly has been named MTV's Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2011. The award caps off what has been a meteoric rise for MGK, who built up such a cult following in his home state of Ohio it got the attention of major labels. After the dust settled MGK signed with Diddy and Bad Boy Records in August 2011 and he hasn't looked back since.
"I can't explain how grateful I am for all those kids who sat there and got in voting circles and sat there for hours and hours and did votes upon votes," MGK told MTV. "I know that we have probably the least amount of fans, but like I told my fans: Heart is always gonna prevail over connections and who these people know and who tweets what."
