The Remix:

Key Glock is known for his uncompromising sound, deeply rooted in the traditions of his hometown of Memphis, but he has never been afraid to leave his comfort zone. Today, the 26-year-old rapper shares his most unexpected collaboration yet, recruiting Brazilian producer/DJ Alok–one of the world’s most popular EDM artists–to remix his Billboard Hot 100-charting song “Let’s Go,” out now via Paper Route Empire.

A motivational record that transforms a Slavic folk chant into an arena-rap anthem, “Let’s Go” is an undeniable epic, racking up streams in the tens of millions, charting on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching the Top 5 on Urban Radio, earning play in sports stadiums across the globe. “Let’s Go” (Alok Remix) ratchets up the energy, adding thumping techno percussion and a sirenic synth melody to accompany Glock’s raspy flexes and sly wordplay, creating a relentless big room banger guaranteed to fill dancefloors across the globe.

The Alok Remix is the latest step in the steady rise of “Let’s Go.” “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. The song inspired a cinematic video, directed by Chris Villa, a 7-minute epic for which the young rapper learned fight choreography and did his own stunts (10 million views to date). “Let’s Go” made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, rising to #88 this week, and hit the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart (#23) and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (#29). With over 138 million streams across platforms to date, “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 more than 15 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.
