MGK released BINGE on the tails of his highly-publicized feud with Eminem, with diss track “RAP DEVIL” acting as the lead single. He announced the EP’s release date a week before it came out, the same day Eminem dropped his response, “Killshot.” The EP received harsh criticism, with USA Today comparing MGK’s lyricism to that of “Weird Al” Yankovic and NME picking at its abundance of hip-hop stereotypes. Some outlets had a more hopeful outlook, with Hip-Hop DX saying that his tendency to touch upon a large span of topics hurt the project’s cohesion, though he has “raw talent” he could utilize in the future. Despite its underwhelming critical reception, the EP was able to debut at #24 on the Billboard 200 following its release, spending two weeks on the chart before dropping.
