Key Glock Shares Mini-Movie For Single “Let’s Go”
Rising rap superstar Key Glock took over the streets, the charts, and sports stadiums across the country with his song “Let’s Go.” Now, after racking up over 34 million streams, the Paper Route Empire rapper delivers a video worthy of the song’s epic scale, releasing Let’s Go, an action-packed mini-movie, on his YouTube channel. Directed by acclaimed auteur Chris Villa, the film takes inspiration from classic movies including John Wick, Point Break, and Belly, using the invigorating King Wonka & Hadouken!-produced anthem to soundtrack several high-octane action scenes featuring Key Glock and his co-star Alix Lapri (Power, Power Book II: Ghost).
In the new movie, Key Glock and Alix Lapri form a ’24 Bonnie & Clyde, joining forces and donning disguises to perform various high-level heists and robberies. Glock effortlessly slips into the action star role, carrying himself with a fierce charisma as he practices John Wick-style “gun fu” on a series of unfortunate henchmen. The crime spree continues across the city, the gun-toting duo hitting up car washes, convenience stores, and more. When it looks like all is lost, and the law has them surrounded, Glock makes a leap of faith and reveals he has another trick up his sleeve. Key Glock did all of his own stunts for the film.
Glock’s new music video kicks off his 2024 in epic fashion, as he prepares to reach the next echelon of rap stardom. “Let’s Go” finished 2023 on a hot streak, gaining viral traction and reaching the Top 25 charts on TikTok and Instagram Reels. The motivational song is a fixture in sports stadiums and arenas, and has been adopted as a theme song by the nationally-ranked University of Memphis men’s basketball team. “Let’s Go” is the standout track from Glockoma 2 (Deluxe), an expansion of his February 2023 album Glockoma 2. Glockoma 2 spent 8 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at #13, and is home to hits like “From Nothing,” “Dirt,” and most recently “Presidential Rolex.”
Glockoma 2 and Glockoma 2 (Deluxe) highlighted a busy year for Glock, which also included the fast-selling SiriusXM’s Hip-Hop Nation Presents: Key Glock – Glockoma Tour,” with support from XXL Freshman TiaCorine, Dallas riser BigXThaPlug, and his PRE associates including Kenny Muney and Jay Fizzle. Over the summer, Key Glock earned a well-deserved pair of RIAA-certified GOLD plaques: for Key Glock’s 2020 album, Yellow Tape, as well as his 2019 album, Dum and Dummer, a full-length collaboration with his mentor Young Dolph. Glock finished the year with #GLOCKTOBER, a month-long celebration of all things Key Glock, featuring new singles like “One Me,” “Murder & Millions,” and “No Hook 2.“
Now with nearly 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify, multiple Hot 100 hits to his name, and 59k tickets sold in 2023 alone, Key Glock is on the brink of taking his no-holds-barred Memphis sound to the mainstream.
