Machine Gun Kelly’s Official ‘Black Flag’ Mixtape Cover
Aided by Winston Churchill ‘s June 1940 speech commonly known as “ We shall fight on the beaches ,” rapper Machine Gun Kelly is preparing fans for his Black Flag era.
Though the release of an actual studio album typically defines a musical period for most artists, the mixtape scene was a career-launching stomping ground for Kellz.
He released five free projects prior to his October 2013 Bad Boy debut, Lace Up , which has sold 178,000 copies as of March 24, 2013.

We shall never surrender.”
Black Flag was scheduled for an April 2013 release, and since that didn’t happen, we can assume it will be out sometime after the “final strike.” There are a total of 9.
