Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll drop long-awaited collaboration "Lonely Road"

After two years of anticipation, Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll have unveiled their collaboration, "Lonely Road." The genre-bending track, released on Friday (July 26), pays homage to John Denver's iconic song "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

The duo, referring to themselves as KellyRoll, revealed the extensive effort put into perfecting the song, involving multiple studios and key changes. They also teased a music video featuring scenes of a funeral, MGK's arrest, and a tender moment between Jelly Roll and his wife, Bunnie XO.
 

Fans first suspected a collaboration was in the works when the two artists performed together at CMA Fest's Spotify House in June, delivering duets of their respective hits.

This release adds to MGK's recent musical activity, which includes the deluxe edition of his album "Hotel Diablo" and several new singles like "Sun to Me."

Jelly Roll, on the other hand, is fresh off a dream collaboration with Eminem on "Somebody Save Me" for Eminem's album "The Death of Slim Shady." He described the experience as working with a childhood hero and someone he deeply related to.   

With "Lonely Road" finally hitting streaming services, fans can now enjoy the fruit of this unique musical partnership between Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll.
