Memphis rapper Key Glock took to Twitter to tell fans he has returned to the studio and is working hard, saying simply, “been recording my ass off..”
This is the rapper’s first update on new material since deleting his social media posts following the death of his cousin and fellow Memphis rapper Young Dolph.
Nonetheless, we know the PRE camp is prolific. This comes only months after the November release of Yellow Tape 2, the much-hyped follow-up to Key Glock’s debut Yellow Tape that was released in early 2020. The album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on Billboard Independent Albums chart.
Last week the rapper released the music video to a tribute track for Young Dolph, who was fatally shot and killed in November 2021. The track, titled “Proud,” was unfinished at the time of Young Dolph’s death and was released by Paper Route EMPIRE as a compilation tribute album to honor their friend and leader. The album, Long Live Dolph, features Kenny Muney, Paper Route Woo, Jay Fizzle, Snupe Bandz, Big Moochie Grape and Joddy Badass.
