#94 MGK & Post Malone: Innovation and Revival

In this week’s episode of Barbells and Trails, Bret and Riley dive deep into today’s music scene, spotlighting two of the industry's most dynamic artists-Machine Gun Kelly and Post Malone. After watching the MGK documentary and binge-listening to four MGK podcasts for the first time, Riley shares his thoughts on the rapper-turned-rocker's evolution. The guys discuss MGK’s career transformation, how he’s embraced his true self, and how his music has grown with him.
Next, they shift gears to the man of the hour-Post Malone-who just dropped his chart-topping album Austin. They explore Post’s shift toward the country genre and how he's making waves with his bold changes. The duo also reflect on how both MGK and Post have overcome dark chapters in their lives, emerging stronger and more authentic in their music.
It’s a fun, thoughtful conversation about growth, reinvention, and resilience. Enjoy the ride!
