Key Glock, born Markeyvius LaShun Cathey, is the embodiment of Memphis hip-hop’s grit and glory. Emerging from the city’s storied rap scene, Glock carved his lane with a signature blend of trap beats, razor-sharp lyricism, and an unapologetic swagger. His music is a reflection of his roots—raw, unfiltered, and dripping with Southern authenticity. Inspired by the likes of Three 6 Mafia and his cousin, the late Young Dolph, Glock’s sound is both a tribute to his predecessors and a bold step forward. The release of *Glockoma* in 2018 marked a turning point, showcasing his ability to craft anthems that resonate with both the streets and the mainstream. Tracks like “Russian Cream” became instant classics, blending infectious hooks with hard-hitting bars. His collaboration with Young Dolph on the *Dum and Dummer* series further solidified his status as a force in hip-hop, with the duo’s chemistry creating a modern-day rap masterpiece. Key Glock’s music isn’t just about beats and rhymes; it’s a testament to resilience and self-belief. After Dolph’s tragic passing in 2021, Glock doubled down on his craft, releasing *Yellow Tape 2*, a project that paid homage to his mentor while proving his ability to stand tall on his own. With a relentless work ethic and a sound that’s unmistakably his, Key Glock isn’t just carrying the torch for Memphis—he’s lighting the way for the next generation.
