Now that Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly has signed with Diddy's Bad Boy Records imprint, the 21-year-old MC is taking his skills to his boss' hometown.

MGK, as he's otherwise known, will command the stage inside famed performance venue S.O.B.s on Sunday night (Aug. 14) for fans and critics alike. Presented by Noizy Cricket and DJBooth.net, the show is set to feature hip-hop Kidz in the Hall as well.

Before signing with Diddy, the heavily tattooed rhymer, who was the first rapper to win Amateur Night at the Apollo back in 2009, also caught the attention from other record label executives for his underground buzz, lyrical talents and punk rock aesthetic.

"MGK is a breath of fresh air," Combs said of his new signee. "He's not just a star, he's a movement!"

The rap star last released his 'Lace Up' mixtape, featuring tracks like 'Salute' 'Make It' and 'Victory Music.'

Machine Gun Kelly's show, located at 204 Varick St. at W. Houston in New York City, commences at 8PM Sunday night. For more information on the concert, visit SOBS.com.
