Key Glock Puts In “Work” On New Single

by

Key Glock just released a new single titled “Work,” which highlights why he’s one of Memphis’ biggest stars. Moreover, he got fans prepped and ready for his next album Glockoma 2, which releases next week on February 24th. Of course, Key’s never been one to take too long out of the spotlight. For example, just last year he released the PRE5L EP in honor of his fallen friend, Young Dolph. With this newest track, he continues contributing menacing, hard-hitting, but still emotionally resonant trap music. Although this newest track is about all the work Glock puts in, he still laments some of the losses he experienced along the way.

First off, the instrumental is a pretty unique effort, at least when compared to the rest of the output from his home city. For one, the haunting string and vocal samples that form its melody are atmospheric and quite distinct from your typical piano leads. While it doesn’t switch up much in terms of the beat, Glock’s flow goes through a few changes. Also, the beat’s oddity grows on you, and you notice its old-school Memphis-inspired drums the more you listen. At the center of it all, Key keeps a steady and authoritative flow as he details his perseverance.

Still, what did you think of Key Glock’s newest single ahead of his next album Glockoma 2, “Work”? However you feel, let us know in the comments and check out some notable bars from the track below.

Quotable Lyrics
Wake up, no pancakes, just syrup
Ten toes down, yeah, stay on alert
I get it in like the first and the third
This s**t I got on, it came out the dirt
All of this money, I feel like I’m cursed
I lost my dawg, every day this s**t hurt

Grove Hero & Lil Migo Fight At Airport

by

A year after his tragic death, Young Dolph’s impact on the Memphis scene is still strong and sustained. Unfortunately, much of that impact has also been as a result of presumed beef between many artists in the region. Recently, rappers Grove Hero and Lil Migo got into a fight at an airport. While Lil Migo signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG label, Grove Hero rides for Dolph, who Gotti had beef with. However, the reason as to why this physical altercation occurred is unknown, and it’s unclear whether it’s surrounding the late rapper.

First, Grove Hero approached Lil Migo while filming with his phone camera. “You Migo?” he asked the fellow rapper. “You crazy,” he responds. Hero then retorts with “I ought to beat you… what you gonna do?” In the clip, you see Migo start to approach Hero as the camera turns away. Later, you can see Migo pull his own phone out, presumably to film the interaction as well.

“Come on, don’t be tryin’ to call your partners, bruh,” Hero taunted Migo. “It’s just me and you, I’m by myself. Me and you, outside.” Afterwards, they kept exchanging insults until Grove Hero smacked Migo’s phone out of his hand. That’s the last of the recorded clips, but they also took to social media to share their sides of the story. The last update we heard between Gotti and Dolph’s camps was Gotti’s lawyer dropping out of Dolph’s murder case.

“This n***a smack the phone out my hand & ran a 4 flat soon I pull my pants up,” Lil Migo wrote. “I put this on God! This n***a ran to the police OMM.”

Grove Hero replied with “Lies,” along with some laughing emojis. “I told u when I caught u it was over.”

Later, Lil Migo went at Grove again. “Mr. Mario,” he wrote, “U know like I know u do anything for clout & manipulate some s**t, u smacked my phone cuh, why you ain’t get your baggage?” He deleted the post shortly after publishing.
