Key Glock might be done with music. The Paper Route Empire lyricist took to Twitter on Thursday (March 3) and admitted he’s trying to pursue a new career in acting.
“Finna go to acting school…doing music don’t hit da same for me anymore,” Glizock tweeted out. Fans in the comments theorized that Young Dolph’s passing last November could have negatively impacted Glock’s motivation.
Glock was visibly heartbroken once he learned of his cousin’s passing, taking a breather from music and social media before returning with a heartfelt new track in January titled “Proud.”
While he’s saying he might be done with music, Glock is still planning to hit the road this spring. The “SiriusXM Hip Hop Nation Presents: The Yellow Tape Tour” will span 33 dates and is set to kick off on April 4th in Atlanta. From there, Glock will move through Washington D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Arizona and many more cities before closing out the tour in Orlando, Florida.
Review - Key Glock 'Yellow Tape 2' Keeps The Paper Route Empire Rapper's Name Buzzing
Young Dolph was shot and killed outside Makeda’s Homemade Cookies in South Memphis on November 17. Three men have since been arrested for the murder of the rap superstar. Glock originally signed to Dolph’s Paper Route Empire in 2017, and the duo teamed up for a critically lauded pair of collab tapes titled Dum & Dummer one and two in 2019 and 2021. Both projects peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Damn bro, im LOST,” Glock wrote on Instagram shortly after Dolph’s murder. “my heart is torn my brain bout to explode it HURTS when I breathe..why you leave me so soon?? I’ll never be the same, you was my lefthand man,my brother,my cousin,my mentor and drank partner for the past 2 years I been taking LOSS AFTER LOSS and still can’t understand why.”
Revisit the music video for “Proud” below.
First want to say long live Dolph. Nothing is wrong with growth and I wish him the best.
Him and Dolph made classic hits together. Their chemistry was like Pimp C & Bun B. Dolph is the in my opinion the best rapper out of the new generation, it was tragic to lose him like we did PAC and Big. This site doesn’t give him his proper shine cause he stayed independent.
Young Dolph was, and will always be remembered as a legend. He had many dope songs that hit the bass heard. I have so many favourite Young Dolph songs, “Drippy”, “Real life” and “Never been so in love” are just three of them. I love all his Gucci Mane and Key Glock collaborations. Young Dolph will always be one of my favourite rappers.
