A recognized figure in Memphis, Key Glock grew up idolizing the music of Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne. Glock created the unofficial crew Whole Lotta Errthang with his two best friends in high school, capturing the spirit of a popular Memphis saying.
“Everybody knew we had a whole bunch of things going on,” remarked Glock. “We rolled with that, but we were living too fast.” Tragically, one of the members of his crew was gunned down at the age of 16. “Me and Ken [other surviving member] ain’t even 21 yet, but we’ve seen and done so much. But you know: God does everything for a reason.”
As Glock turned to music and began to develop his craft, his cousin-by-marriage Young Dolph began to take off. After facing an aggravated robbery charge and 90-day sentence in 2015, Key Glock was approached by Dolph and his business manager Daddyo to join Paper Route Empire.
With PRE’s support behind him, Glock’s first single On My Soul has garnered over one million plays plays on WorldStarHipHop’s Youtube channel, and is at 741,000 plays on Soundcloud. The music video for his break out single is out now and can be seen below.
