Memphis rapper, Key Glock, has been considering a career change inciting music just isn’t the same anymore for him.
He tweeted out this sentiment on Thursday, Mar. 3, saying that he would go to acting school instead of rapping.
“finna go to acting school.. doing music don’t hit da same for me anymore,” he said.
Glock has reportedly been heavily impacted by his cousin Young Dolph‘s death, so fans speculate that is the reason for his pending decision.
Glock’s fans encourage him to keep making music
His followers responded to his post, saying that they don’t want their favorite artist to give up.
“N***a you got the game from Dolph, you the youngest of the empire and heir to the throne better keep going up the ladder,” said @ILuvTheFame.
“Nah… you’re too talented to stop music. It’s in your blood. PRE needs your sound. Dolph still lives through you. Make acting a side hustle. But supporting all moves you make regardless,” @Chris_Goral_ said.
“It can be depressing seeing as that you did a lot of music with your brother and was inspired by him! Take all the time you need to heal.. step away if need be but don’t give up completely on it. You’re talented asf,” @thebiggestdonp wrote.
Young Dolph was a rapper to the public but a cousin to Glock
Dolph was tragically shot and killed in his hometown as he was exiting a popular local shop called Makeda’s Cookies. Fans were completely shocked and sent a flood of condolences to Glock, and Dolph’s wife and children. Celebrities also chimed in with their thoughts on the late rapper’s passing, and fellow rappers even created musical tributes.
Not only was Dolph related to Glock, but he also signed him to Paper Route Empire label in 2017. From there, he released a ton of songs like “Mr. Glock” and “Mister Glock 2.” The pair collaborated to drop their joint mixtapes Dum & Dummer one and two, which hit no. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Most recently, the 24-year-old musician dropped an emotional record titled “Long Ling Dolph” as a tribute to his slain cousin. Its accompanying video includes a compilation of video clips of him, Dolph, and Dolph’s memorial in Memphis.
On Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2022, he announced that he will be going on his first solo tour, The Yellow Tape Tour.
