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.

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
