Bio:
Born Markeyvius LaShun Cathey on August 3, 1997, in South Memphis, Key Glock is a rapper whose gritty bars and trap beats carry the soul of his city. Cousin by marriage to the late Young Dolph, he signed with Dolph’s Paper Route Empire in 2017, dropping his debut mixtape Glock Season that same year. Tracks like “On My Soul” put him on the map, but his 2020 album Yellow Tape hit number 14 on the Billboard 200, earning gold status with its raw energy. Yellow Tape 2 (2021) climbed even higher to number seven, with the platinum-certified “Ambition for Cash” and the heartfelt “Proud,” a tribute to Dolph after his tragic murder in 2021. His third album, Glockoma 2 (2023), gave us the sleeper hit “Let’s Go,” while his 2025 major-label debut Glockaveli under Republic Records cemented his rise. With over 3 million Instagram followers and streams blazing on Spotify and Apple Music, Key Glock’s unapologetic flow and Memphis pride make him a force in trap music, carrying his cousin’s legacy forward.
