Key Glock hosted a spectacular after-party following the 2023 BET Awards to celebrate the deluxe version of his highly anticipated Glockoma 2 album. The event, known as 50 Shades of Glock, was an unforgettable evening that brought together live music, adult entertainment, exclusive cocktails, and an impressive guest list.
Industry icons, music executives, fellow artists, and influencers flocked to the party, including the likes of Empire CEO Ghazi, Queen Naija, Coi Leray, BIA, Nene Leakes, Druski, Lola Brooke, G Herbo, Lakeyah, Toosii, DDG, Fridayy, Big Boss Vette, and renowned super producers OG Parker & ATL Jacob, among many others. The crowd was treated to a captivating performance by Sukihana, who delivered her viral hit single, “Eating.”
However, the celebrity appearances and musical performances were just part of the evening’s allure. As guests arrived at the stunning Beverly Hills estate, they were greeted by a dominatrix who offered interactive experiences for those inclined towards submission or BDSM play. The VIP section boasted a magnificent Ace of Spades champagne tower, an exquisite sushi spread, and a plush lounge and dance area. 50 Shades of Glock successfully transported attendees to the vibrant essence of the South, right in the heart of Beverly Hills.
In following the footsteps of his late mentor, the legendary Young Dolph, Key Glock is establishing the path he wishes to take his brand, leaving a mark as a trailblazer in the industry.
Key Glock is set to expand his recent project with the announcement of Glockoma 2 (Deluxe), releasing on June 23 via Paper Route Empire. This new edition of Glockoma 2 will include eight brand new tracks, enhancing the original album that reached #13 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its initial release in February.
The Glockoma 2 (Deluxe) album features fresh productions from talented names like Bandplay, Tay Keith, and more. It promises to deliver a raw and uncompromising dose of street music to fans, with no frills or featured artists—just the unfiltered essence of Key Glock.
Glock’s latest anthem, “Presidential Rolex,” is accompanying the announcement, ” a flex-heavy track showcasing his self-assured style. Produced by Tay Keith, the song blends an insistent piano line, sampled vocals, and ornamental sounds, creating a captivating backdrop for Glock’s lyrical prowess. In “Presidential Rolex,” Glock confidently stacks flexes, leaving ordinary folks unable to compete with his shine.
Key Glock has caused further embarrassment for Doe Boy after leaving him with a sprained ankle. This comes following an impressive crossover move on the basketball court. The incident occurred during a game between their respective teams in Season 5 of The Crew League. A viral clip of the moment was uploaded to Twitter. The video captured Doe Boy falling to the floor. The move by Key Glock seemed impressive for a moment. Unfortunately, his subsequent shot missed the mark by a significant margin. Sadly, Doe Boy was the one who had to pay the price.
Overtime’s Twitter account mocked Key Glock’s missed shot while highlighting Doe Boy’s fall. This, of course, prompted a response from the injured rapper. The rapper sent Glock a photo of his swollen and bruised ankle. He expressed the pain he was experiencing and said that his ankle was sprained. In response, Glock shared their text exchange on Twitter. He was seemingly proud of the damage caused by his crossover move. The outcome of the game remains unknown as the results will be revealed when the season premieres on REVOLT later in June.
Key Glock And Doe Boy Weren’t The Only Bad Players
In addition to Doe Boy and Key Glock, other rappers faced criticism for their basketball skills over the weekend. Offset received backlash from fans after footage showed him air balling two jump shots before a game. Offset didn’t dispute the claims. In fact, he fully admitted he wasn’t a skilled basketball player. Kevin Gates also faced embarrassment. He accidentally shot on his own team’s hoop not once but twice, drawing gasps from the crowd.
He may not have much to celebrate in terms of basketball, but Doe Boy has some other things to be happy about. Last week, the rapper released his new album BEEZY. The rapper had been waiting for Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule to grant permission for him to sample one of their popular collaborations for his new track, “Way I Walk.” After a year of persistence, Doe Boy expressed gratitude to J.Lo and Ja Rule in a video, stating that they finally made it happen and acknowledging their support.
Key Glock is back, dropping off a new video for “Work” from the Glockoma 2 album released this past February. In the video, Glock enters a moment of flexing and reflection, saluting Young Dolph for inspiring his hustle to continue to grow.
You can see Glock on the phone making moves, hitting tour stops across the country, engaging in meetings and photoshoots, and everything else that is a part of the life of a boss and star rapper.
Bill Nye is an American science communicator, who is best known for his TV series Bill Nye the Science Guy in the 90s. Despite his age, he still maintains an enormous fan base who lean on him to learn more about science. His ability to break down complicated topics in a way that kids understand is unmatched. As a result, people go crazy just about any time he is seen on TV or social media. But Bill Nye is making headlines for reasons other than science.
In the recent Blue Jacket Fashion Show in February, Bill Nye made his presence known as he attended. At the time of the show, people were not making too much of a fuss. However, a video has recently come out showing the senior scientist dancing to a song by Key Glock. Because of his age and profession, fans are finding it humorous to see that he was so into hip-hop music. But the song Bill is dancing to does make a lot of sense for who he is. In a now-viral video, Bill is seen getting down to Key Glock’s song “Chromosomes.”
Bill Nye Lets Loose At The Blue Jacket Fashion Show
Bill attended the show wearing a dashing blue suit and patterned bowtie. The TV personality has always been known for having a goofy and charming side. But despite this knowledge, his fans are always tickled to see him interacting with modern hip-hop culture. In recent years, Bill Nye has separated himself from his child-friendly persona quite a bit. His original show ended in 1998, but he came back to TV in the late 2010s with a much more adult approach. Now he has fans of all ages who can’t help but love him.
But his appearance at the fashion show is not the first time audiences were able to see him dance. In fact, in 2013, Bill Nye took part in the 17th season of Dancing With the Stars. He had to retire from the show, however, after injuring himself during one of the dances. Nevertheless, fans were ecstatic to see his revival. Since then, he has been frequently appearing in the most random of places. Stay tuned to see where the beloved TV scientist appears next.
Last month, Key Glock released his much-anticipated album, Glockoma 2, which featured some acclaimed new tracks. One of the fan favorites was one named after wrestler Randy Orton, appropriately titled, “Randy Orton.”
On the song, he alludes to the wrestler, rapping on the chorus, “I’m savage, but don’t call me Randy, yeah / I’m slammin’ these bitches like Randy Orton.”
Tomorrow (March 6), Key will kick off the Glockoma tour, however, it appears he’s still finalizing the setlist. Today (March 4), Key took to Twitter to ask fans for help selecting songs.
It appears Orton himself has caught wind of the song. Making a rare appearance on Twitter, Orton responded to Key’s inquiry with a thinking emoji. This marks Orton’s first time tweeting in nearly four months.
At the time of writing, Key did not confirm if he was including it on his set list, however, judging by an Instagram post in which he shared a screenshot of Orton’s quoted reply, it’s safe to assume he’ll perform it.
“What other songs y’all wanna hear on tour ??,” asked Key in the post’s caption.

Young Nudy’s new album, Gumbo welcomed his fans to a feast of new music. The rapper is known for his clever food name titles on his songs, and in this new LP, all the tracks have food titles to match the album. Atlanta rapper Young Nudy dropped his new album Gumbo, and all of the […]

Glockoma 2 is Key Glock’s first full-length album since the passing of Young Dolph. As such, it would seem that there’d be a lot of fanfare around its release, some pomp and circumstance worthy of Dolph’s standing in the Memphis rap scene and Glock’s proximity to him as his protege and frequent collaborator.
But that’d run counter to both rappers’ modus operandi, the way they eschewed big-name guests and moved in modes consistent with the gritty street narratives they unraveled in their music. Key Glock is not a flashy guy, although he does sport the usual array of chunky, diamond-encrusted necklaces common to his profession.
Instead, what we get on Glockoma 2 is a microcosm of the Paper Route Empire ethos of consistency and authenticity, with little window dressing or build-up. The album was released quietly over the weekend after only a pair of straightforward singles (“Dirt” and “Work” both of which are frontloaded here) and a tour announcement. The music included is similarly unfussy, with no featured artists and a familiar lineup of producers including BandPlay, Hitkidd, and Sledgren.
What makes it stand out among a slew of similarly-themed projects is Glock’s intense focus on improvement. He’s always been cleverer rhyme-smith than he’s perhaps been given credit for, but here, he elevates his craft impressively, stunning with subtly witty one-liners and plainspoken but deft boasts (“I just pulled up with my chopper like the Undertaker,” he barks on “2 For 1”).
Of course, the spirit of Dolph hovers over the proceedings. While Glock dodges obvious references to the tragedy that knocked his world off its axis, his mentor’s influence is clear in both his improved delivery and in overt lyrical references. On “Ratchet,” he nods to the Dolph-shaped void, “I took a couple losses, that shit there made me a winner / Boss shit, baby, yeah, I do this for Flippa.”
There isn’t much variation on these themes in Glock’s lyrics, but he keeps the content sounding fresh with a versatile selection of beats. They demand enough course correction to keep him in a variety of pockets, which helps distinguish each song and prevent his voice – the only one on the album thanks to his “F**k A Feature” mentality – from becoming monotonous. From the sauntering horns on “Randy Orton” to the Gothic trap bounce of “Money Over Hoes,” there’s enough variation in sounds to prove Glock’s adaptability.
If there’s anything missing here, it’s a more in-depth excavation of the principal’s emotional state of mind. He took a full year off after consistently releasing at least an album a year since 2016 as a result of the emotional hit he took with Dolph’s death. While maintaining his unfazed persona is likely good business – it’s what’s worked for him so far – it’d be nice to see him drop kayfabe at least here to address a traumatic experience without framing it as a temporary setback.
He similarly put off this reckoning on his late 2022 EP PRE5L, which seemed less pressing because of that project’s positioning as a warm-up of sorts for his grander return. Now that he’s made that return, it’s comforting to see him getting back on track, but a little disheartening to know that he still feels like he can’t address how he’s really been feeling. Perhaps on his next project, he’ll be more comfortable emoting a little.
However, for now, a return to form is enough – or, at least, it’ll have to be. Glock is back to big stepping, and for the first time, doing so without the support of his respected mentor. It’s nice to see him finding his footing. Dolph’s shoes likely can’t and won’t be filled – maybe they shouldn’t be. But Key Glock is walking his own path now, as assuredly as he’s able… and perhaps it’ll lead him to even greater success down the road.
