Who is The Memphis-born rapper Key Glock?

The Memphis-born rapper Key Glock presents cold, stark, and unyielding verses concerning sex, guns, and money. Updating the woozy and narcotic style of Memphis greats who preceded him, such as Three 6 Mafia, he achieved success among critics, fans, and on the charts with projects like 2020's Yellow Tape and two Dum and Dummer releases in collaboration with Young Dolph. After the 2020 mixtape Son of a Gun, Glock once again paired with Dolph, reaching number eight on the Billboard 200 with 2021's Dum and Dummer 2 before releasing his subsequent full-length album Yellow Tape 2. The studio album Glockoma 2 emerged in 2023, followed by a deluxe edition and numerous singles.

The rapper's debut mixtape, Glock Season, was released on Paper Route Empire in 2017. The release encompassed the singles "On My Soul" and "Racks Today" (featuring Jay Fizzle), as well as production by Sosa 808, Izze tha Producer, and DJ Squeeky. In the early part of 2018, he released Glock Bond, which debuted outside the Top 100 on the Billboard 200. Later that year, he returned with the mixtape Glockoma. In 2019, he joined forces with his friend Young Dolph for the joint album Dum and Dummer. This collaboration was streamed tens of millions of times and set the stage for Key Glock to return in January 2020 with the solo Yellow Tape. The album's raw production and ruthless flows resonated with audiences, and the project once again made its mark on the Billboard charts. Just five months later, he unveiled his second recording of 2020, Son of a Gun. The collection again featured no other rappers except Key Glock, and it debuted at number 37 on the Billboard Top 200.
