MGK Classes It Up For Ivy League Business School Lecture: ‘Harvard Has a New Professor’

Colson wore two ties for the special occasion.

MGK has conquered the worlds of hip-hop, emo punk and pop, not to mention building a budding acting resumé. But this week the multi-hyphenate landed a new notch on his experience belt that no one saw coming: he lectured at Harvard Business School.

Colson Baker chronicled the unexpected visit on his Instagram, where he posted a series of pictures of his visit to the venerated Boston university, including a shot of him standing next to the school’s sign wearing his version of professor chic: baggy grey dress pants, a brown bomber jacket, a button down shirt, two different ties (one tied, the other loose around his neck) and, of course, a white baseball hat promoting his Lost Americana album.
