MGK and Yuki Chiba Release Joint Single “JJK”
Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba have issued a collaborative hip‑hop single titled “JJK,” released on July 28 2026. The track blends MGK’s English verses with Chiba’s Japanese rap and includes production by No Love for the Middle Child, BazeXX and SlimXX.
A Sam Cahill‑directed music video accompanies the release, featuring the artists in yellow and red outfits against stark black‑and‑white visuals that move through a temple‑like setting. The song references several popular anime series, adding a cultural crossover element. Yuki Chiba, known for hits such as “Team Tomodachi” and a prior collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion on “Mamushi,” is preparing his first North American headlining tour in November. MGK is also slated to perform at Summer Sonic 2026 in Osaka and Tokyo, marking his return to Japan since 2019.
