Bet on it.<br \/><em>Interview: C. Vernon Coleman II<\/em><br \/><em><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Editor\u2019s Note: This story appears in the\u00a0Summer 2025 issue of XXL Magazine, on newsstands\u00a0now and available for sale on the XXL website.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It would take a blind man not to see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/tags\/key-glock\" target=\"_blank\">Key Glock<\/a> is leveling up. It\u2019s hard to miss the bumblebee-colored Ferrari Purosangue with an estimated price tag of $430,000 (not counting all the customizing) or the 20-plus, 20-point diamonds in his teeth. With a recent nod from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/key-glock-beyonce-cowboy-carter-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\">Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>, a new deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/pro\/key-glock-republic-records-signing-glockavelli\/\" target=\"_blank\">Republic Records<\/a>, and a top 10 album debut to boot, the 27-year-old South Memphis rhymer is a prime example of persistence and talent paying off in a major way.<\/p>\n<p>Key Glock is nine calendars into a career that started with the 2016 mixtape <em>Whole Lotta Errthang<\/em>. The following year, Key inked a deal with his cousin Young Dolph\u2019s growing indie imprint Paper Route Empire and went on a run of solo and collaborative projects, including <em>Glock Season<\/em> (2017), <em>Glock Bond<\/em> (2018), <em>Glockoma<\/em> (2018), the <em>Dum and Dummer<\/em> mixtape series with Dolph (2019, 2021), <em>Son of a Gun<\/em> (2020), and the albums <em>Yellow Tape<\/em> (2020), <em>Yellow Tape 2<\/em> (2021) and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/49vCWZ0yKkRvfetjsYVLnx?si=Gn0kLV3FRR6YNQaqxysa7Q\" target=\"_blank\">Glockoma 2<\/a><\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n<p>Dolph\u2019s death in November of 2021 marked a dark moment in Key\u2019s life and career, which caused him to fall back and reflect. But two years later, Glock returned to form and bounced back with the album <em>Glockoma 2<\/em>. Then the anthemic King Wonka and Hadouken Beats-produced track \u201cLet\u2019s Go,\u201d which appeared on the <em>Glockoma 2<\/em> deluxe in the summer of 2023, spawned one of the year\u2019s best bangers. All eyes were in his direction once again.<\/p>\n<p>Key parlayed that platinum success and anticipation for his follow-up album into a major label deal with Republic Records this past March. He released his highly anticipated <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/6pvCEOgB3oLiDiAhKs0vA6?si=KnjGQw0hRcG5zE6tLCLyJQ\" target=\"_blank\">Glockaveli<\/a><\/em> album in May. The project debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, Glock\u2019s highest chart accolade for a solo release. He cemented the effort with a headlining tour that ended in June.<\/p>\n<p>Glock\u2019s hustle never stops. His next priorities are his European tour, his Cutthroat Records imprint and releasing another album this year.<\/p>\n<p><em>XXL<\/em> caught up with Key Glock just days after <em>Glockaveli<\/em>\u2019s release in Atlanta. Over a blunt the size of a Beats Pill speaker and a double coffee cup bubbling with purple Sprite, Glock opened up about his new album, tour life, his keys to success, Young Dolph\u2019s legacy and more.<br \/><strong><br \/><em>XXL<\/em>: How are you feeling now that the album is out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Glock:<\/strong> I ain\u2019t gon\u2019 lie. It feels good. It feels like I just had a birthday party because everybody was happy for me. Everybody was celebrating like it was theirs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your mind state going into this album, as opposed to your other projects?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>It was all over the place. Because I had took like a year-and-a-half off from music. From like, the media, from social media. Just being outside, basically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your take on why <em>Glockaveli<\/em> was so highly anticipated?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>I only left them with \u201cLet\u2019s Go\u201d to listen to since 2023. And I feel like if it wasn\u2019t what it is now, I don\u2019t think people would have appreciated the wait. So, I definitely think it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While the album was delayed, you signed a major label record deal with Republic after being independent for years. Do you feel like you should have made the move earlier? Do you feel like this is the perfect timing for it?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>It took a lot of thinking. It wasn\u2019t nothing like a couple days. It wasn\u2019t nothing like a couple weeks. It took like seven to eight months, almost, for me to make a decision. I think everything happened for a reason. It\u2019s like this wasn\u2019t even forced or rushed. It\u2019s something I always wanted to do, but it wasn\u2019t like on my mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You didn\u2019t have any features on the album, but you did have producers from Memphis. How important was it to you to keep that M-town sound?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Because I just love paying homage to my roots. Touching back to where I came from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the things people are highlighting about the album is the beat selection.\u00a0What goes into your thought process for selecting beats?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>It\u2019s certain instruments, basically. And certain sounds hit the body different. It catches your attention, basically, before you even hear a word. Not even with my music, but just how instrumentals is period. Some songs, you\u2019ll hear it all the time. You might not know a word, but you still might move to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You got some fire-ass samples on there. It seems like you just got an old soul.<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Most def. That just comes from my childhood. I was raised by my grandma. I was always around my great grandma, too. I always was around them type of songs, that type of music. You don\u2019t get away from it. It sticks with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>King Wonka produced several tracks on there. Obviously, you had a hit with \u201cLet\u2019s<br \/>Go.\u201d How did you guys initially link? What do you think makes your working chemistry so good?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was crazy, bro. I don\u2019t know nobody else got a story like this. Me and Wonka linked in 2016. I wasn\u2019t even signed yet. I wasn\u2019t even really just taking rap serious just yet. He was on YouTube. He was making Young Dolph-type beats, Chief Keef-type beats, Young Thug, Gucci Mane-type beats, stuff like that.<\/p>\n<p>I was just starting to record. I\u2019d go to YouTube and grab those beats, or I\u2019d rap on an actual artist beat. I found him and I DM\u2019d him on Instagram. We\u2019ve been locked in ever since then. He\u2019s been on every one of my tapes. He versatile as hell.<br \/><strong><br \/>What are your thoughts on the Memphis rap scene these days? A lot of artists are doing their thing. You seem to be one of the artists that\u2019s leading the pack.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love to see it. It\u2019s been going on, but I\u2019m happy it\u2019s getting more light now.<br \/><strong><br \/>How do you feel you\u2019re pushing the sound forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It feels good. The ones that\u2019s under me got their own sound, too. Memphis as one got its own sound, but within Memphis, it\u2019s different sounds, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are times online recently where you mentioned that people counted you out. Were there any particular instances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know when you and other people start off together at a certain point, and y\u2019all both grow, but one might grow faster than you. Or all might grow faster than you, so they feel that they can belittle you now or don\u2019t have to f**k with you no more. So, it\u2019s that kind of situation.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t let it get to me. I just use it as motivation. Just to show you, like, alright, do y\u2019all thing. I don\u2019t need y\u2019all. Y\u2019all can be the Avengers. I\u2019ll be Thanos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is an obvious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/key-glock-interview-tupac-shakur\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tupac Shakur connection<\/a> with the album title. Why do you think \u2019Pac is so revered to this day?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like when you\u2019re a real person, like how everybody calls themselves real, when you\u2019re just genuine and wise and just got good energy and a good spirit, it\u2019s going to live on. Whether you want it to or not, people are going to represent you even if they met you or not.<\/p>\n<p><q class=\"pullquote alignfull\">&#8220;YOU CAN&#8217;T COMPARE NOBODY TO ME. NOT EVEN ON THE MUSIC LEVEL, BUT JUST PERIOD. I&#8217;M ONE OF ONE, FOR SURE.&#8221;<\/q><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is that something you strive to do as an artist?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>I don\u2019t strive to do anything as far as somebody looking up to me or trying to be like me. I want everyone in this world to be like them. I was hard-headed growing up. I just like finding out sh*t on my own because what might work for you might not work for me.<\/p>\n<p>We could be on the same basketball team, but you could be a three-point specialist. They only drafted me strictly to get rebounds. They\u2019re not going to put me in your position. That\u2019s how I look at it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You just had a headlining tour in the U.S. and you\u2019re going on an interview run. What\u2019s your favorite thing about touring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fans and their energy. The fans keep me going. The fans get me out of my little dark place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beyonc\u00e9 used your 2018 song \u201cGang Sh*t No Lame Sh*t\u201d during her Cowboy Carter Tour in May. Did she reach out to you for that, or did you peep it when everyone else peeped it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t even know who to reach out to reach out to her. Nah, it\u2019s all love, though. It\u2019s all love. I f**k with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you think when you saw that? She\u2019s like the biggest female artist on the planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nah, that\u2019s love. That\u2019s love. I rock with her husband. I rock with [Jay-Z]. When me and Jigga see each other, it\u2019s all love, for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Kansas City Chiefs used your track \u201cWatch Da Throne,\u201d off the new album on social media, too. You\u2019re getting a lot of big looks. Is it your team putting those plays together? Or folks seeing you shining and reaching out, or a little bit of both?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really both. It depends on the situation. People that I show love to, they just show love back. It\u2019s just genuine.<br \/><strong><br \/>Is there someone you found out was a fan that surprised you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Will Smith. Yeah, he was bumping \u201cGang Sh*t No Lame Sh*t.\u201d Yup. Will Smith. Denzel Washington. Randy Orton. I got a couple guys, for sure.<br \/><strong><br \/>Why do you think these huge stars are interested in your movement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Basically, it\u2019s the love I show them, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On your new song \u201cHallelujah,\u201d you mentioned YNW Melly. Have you been keeping up with his legal situation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lately, I\u2019ve been keeping up more with it. I feel like the system is dragging it along because they can. As long as bro keep his spirit high and his energy good, God definitely gonna figure it out for him. He can\u2019t leave it in nobody hands but his.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the track \u201cMade a Way,\u201d you said: \u201cI\u2019ve been f**ked up, down bad and snaked out.\u201d Are there any instances you can think of that made you come up with that line?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was just a time period I was going through. I was just using my frustration on the beat at the time. Instead of physically getting it off. And reminiscing at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you find that things like that put the battery in your back?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Yeah, most definitely. It made me push myself. The inner me pushes the outer me to make sure it keeps going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are Key Glock\u2019s current keys to success?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>One: Don\u2019t take any opinion negative. Two: Trust your gut. No matter what. Even if your brain says otherwise. Your gut is God speaking to you. Three: Have faith in yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what\u2019s next for you after this tour?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>I\u2019m gonna chill for a couple weeks, and I\u2019m going right back on tour. Going back on a European tour, and I\u2019m gonna be working on my other album while I\u2019m over there. Might have two albums this year. <em>Glockaveli<\/em> is done. Let\u2019s get back to work. The work ain\u2019t over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the most important thing you learned from Young Dolph about music and life in general? How do you apply that to your life?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>His heart to give. It rubbed off on me like real big because I know how it feel to not have, and I know how it feel to be blessed. My partners ain\u2019t got what I got, but they know what\u2019s mine is theirs. So, it\u2019s like I just be happy God blessed a ni**a to be able to bless somebody else. That\u2019s part of what I cherish the most. His heart to give.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you want him to be remembered?<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Like he is now. It\u2019s being done the right way.<br \/><strong><br \/>How do you want Key Glock to be remembered at the end of the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just want everybody to remember me as being different. You can\u2019t compare nobody to me. Not even on the music level, but just period. I\u2019m one of one, for sure.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Listen to Key Glock&#8217;s <em>Glockaveli: The Don<\/em> Album<br \/><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3gVuAqu4B6xxcXK8S5Mn3H?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<p><em>The summer 2025 issue of XXL magazine featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/tags\/key-glock\/\" target=\"_blank\">Key Glock<\/a>&#8216;s interview is available to <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.xxlmag.com\/collections\/freshman-2025-capsule\/products\/xxl-magazine-freshman-class-2025-issue\" target=\"_blank\">purchase here<\/a>.
