MGK and Wiz Khalifa Revisit Their Roots on ‘blog era boyz’

Machine Gun Kelly and Wiz Khalifa are officially leaning into nostalgia with their collaborative mixtape, ‘blog era boyz.’ Arriving over a decade after their first collaboration, 2013’s “Mind of a Stoner,” the project signals a definitive pivot back to hip-hop for MGK following his high-profile detour into pop-punk. The tracklist, featuring singles like “Everything Tatted” and “Girl Next Door,” leans heavily on the hazy, melodic production that defined the early 2010s internet rap scene. This isn't just a genre exercise; it’s a calculated return to the aesthetics that built their initial fanbases. By pairing MGK’s manic energy with Wiz’s veteran composure, the duo manages to recapture the chemistry of the DatPiff era without sounding dated. The release coincides with the final dates of MGK’s ‘Lost Americana’ tour, framing the project as a victory lap for two artists who survived the volatility of the digital transition. Expect ‘blog era boyz’ to drop May 22, 2026, serving as a reminder of the era when regional boundaries first began to blur into the global cloud.
