MGK Searches for the ‘American Dream’ in New Album Trailer Seemingly Narrated by Bob Dylan


MGK tapped a voice that sounds a lot like Bob Dylan to narrate his new 'Lost Americana' album trailer.

In a clip previewing the August-slated LP posted Tuesday (June 10), a voice sounding very familiar to Dylan’s can be heard reading a description of the rapper-turned-rocker’s Lost Americana, calling it “a personal excavation of the American dream.” “It’s a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom,” the Dylan-esque drawl says over fuzzy shots of MGK smoking, riding motorcycles, hanging out with friends, taking in a mountainous landscape in awe and walking the Las Vegas strip. And while a collaboration with the famously elusive Dylan might seem random, the Lost Americana trailer wouldn’t be the first time he and MGK’s worlds have collided (assuming that it really is the legend’s voice in the narration).
