Key Glock\u2019s been making noise for a minute now. After signing to his cousin Young Dolph\u2019s record label Paper Route Empire, he released his first project <\/span>Glock Season<\/span><\/em> in 2017 and has gone strong ever since. <\/span><\/p>\n

We got on the phone with Glock to discuss his latest work, Son of a Gun<\/em><\/span>, quarantine activities, and why he stopped caring so much about designer shoes. Enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: What\u2019s going on with you?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>What have you been doing in quarantine?
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> I\u2019m doing the same thing I was doing before quarantine started \u2014I been in the studio. It\u00a0really doesn\u2019t even phase me because I don\u2019t go out unless I have to anyways. I\u2019m always to myself. It doesn\u2019t really affect anything that I have going on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Glock on Growing up with Young Dolph and Living in Memphis<\/h1>\n
\"\"
Key Glock with Young Dolph<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Snkrs Day: You know I was reading back and I saw you were raised by your grandma and that you\u2019re [Young] Dolph\u2019s cousin. Talk about your childhood for people who don\u2019t know. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> You know, everything happens for a reason. As you said, I ain\u2019t have my mama or my father growing up \u2014I had my grandma. And she couldn\u2019t teach me the things that my father was supposed to teach me. I left my grandma’s house early on my own, like 16. I taught myself everything. Like literally how to do everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: I wasn\u2019t really with my mother or pops too, so I hear that. You grew up in Memphis though right?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock<\/strong>: Right. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: What were the best things to do? Best corner stores, best food, events to go to back in the day. I see you rock with Three 6 Mafia. That \u201cIf You Ain\u2019t From My Hood\u201d type shit. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> Oh yeah. Like, see now it really ain\u2019t too much in the city that young folks can go and enjoy they self and they ain\u2019t gotta worry about nothing. When I was coming up, there was a lot of teenage clubs just around throughout the city and it was teenage promoters, you know what I\u2019m saying, throwing the parties. It was one that really stuck out\u2014its called Crystal Palace skating rink and everybody from Memphis know about this skating rink no matter what generation they in. That was they spot and our spot too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Who put you on to Three 6?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I put myself<\/em> onto Three 6.\u00a0<\/span>I don\u2019t know the first time I heard it, but I remember Juicy J. Juicy J had me <\/span>geeked<\/span> when I was a little kid. He had that scream line that \u201cShut the fuck up!\u201d I didn’t even know what he was saying until I got older. Just some crazy attractive shit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: I see you\u2019re a Future fan too. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> Yeah I fuck with Future. There aren’t a lot of artists who I fuck with, but I can relate to Future lifestyle. I fuck with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Glock on Son of a Gun<\/em><\/h1>\n
\"\"
Son of a Gun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NK: Talk about the process of Son of a Gun<\/em>. How long did it take? What were the highs and lows of making it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> There really wasn’t a time span on making it. It was like some of the songs were just songs that the fans asked for. It was a tape for my fans more than anything. A gift to my fans to keep it going. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Was it a <\/span>Yellow Tape<\/span><\/em> Part Two or a concept album? Or was it like, \u201cIt\u2019s quarantine let\u2019s put something together.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock: It was just something that came to mind out the blue because I was chillin with my mama like real, real heavy. Just catching up, you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Right. It’s about getting back to your roots. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For sure. That\u2019s <\/span>exactly<\/span><\/em> what it is. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: I like\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u201cMoney Talk\u201d. And that \u201c<\/span>Money tall as Tacko Fall on his tippy toes.<\/span>\u201d line. I rock with “Igloo” too.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> Oh yeah, that\u2019s [I Know] my gang song. My gang love that one right there that \u201c<\/span>I Know.”\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Glock:<\/strong> \u201c<\/span>Igloo<\/span>\u201d was supposed to be on <\/span>Dumb and Dumber<\/em><\/span> but my fans were always asking me, \u201cWhere is this song? Where is this song?\u201d So they didn’t think I was gone put it on the tape. I put it out on the tape and they automatically ate it up. They already knew what it was. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: The last one. \u201c<\/span>I remember I was playing Cops and Robbers…I know you want a car with a trunk in the front<\/span>.\u201d That was good. Like who doesn’t want a Tesla?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> That’s real. <\/span>Who <\/span>don\u2019t<\/span><\/em> want a car with a trunk in the front?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Glock’s Current Rotation<\/h1>\n

Snkrs Day: What are your 5 favorite shoes in your rotation right now?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> In my rotation right now? Man, you should see all these damn shoes in my house. <\/span> I have a sneaker <\/span>room<\/span><\/em>. My shoes have their own <\/span>room<\/span><\/em> in my house. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: What are you rocking?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> Doernbecher 8s right here. You know the blue ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Snkrs Day: You’re wearing more Jordans, I see.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Glock:<\/strong> Yeah, that\u2019s all I wear. I\u2019m done with everything else. I haven’t worn any designer for almost a year or two probably. <\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: What was the reasoning behind that? You don\u2019t see the value in it anymore like been there done that<\/em>?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s like the designer shoes were a wave at the time to me. I realized I spent so many thousands of dollars on one pair of shoes when I can go buy 5-10 pairs of shoes for the same price of Jordans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Plus, it was something you grew up wanting. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly. Something I grew up been wanting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
