From Memphis, Tennessee and a protégé of the late, chart-topping rapper Young Dolph, Key Glock has experienced one of the steadiest climbs in the rap music world over the last few years. Glock released the original “Yellow Tape” in 2020, which peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and included contributions from music producers Southside, Kenny Beats and others. “Yellow Tape 2,” which has generated the singles “Toolie,” “Ambition for Cash” and “Da Truth,” showcases Glock’s evolution as a rapper and, at times, features him alongside what he has labeled his alter ego, Glizock. Album producers include Tay Keith, Juicy J, Sosa 808 and Budda Bless.
Key Glock originally found fame with his 2017 mixtape “Glock Season.” He is signed to Young Dolph’s label Paper Route Empire. For more, visit .
