About

Markeyvius LaShun Cathey (born August 3, 1997), better known by his stage name Key Glock, is an American rapper and songwriter. A protégé of Memphis rapper Young Dolph, he rose to fame in 2017 with his mixtape Glock Season. Early life Markeyvius LaShun Cathey was born in South Memphis on August 3, 1997. When he was 20 months old, his mother was sent to prison, where she would be for the next 15 years, in both state and federal facilities. His father was in and out of his life, so he was raised by his grandmother and his aunt. According to Cathey, he and his grandmother occasionally visited his mother in prison during his youth. At 18 years old, he was charged with three counts of aggravated assault related to his involvement in a shooting. Fortunately for him, music was a distraction from his oftentimes tumultuous life.

The first track that Glock recorded himself was a freestyle of Future's "Ain't No Way Around It" in 2011. Career CEO Daddy O and cousin Young Dolph signed Key Glock to the Paper Route Empire label in 2017. On January 25 of that year, Glock released his debut single "Racks Today" featuring American rapper Jay Fizzle. On June 16, 2017, Glock released his debut mixtape, Glock Season, under the label.

On January 31, Key Glock released his fifth solo mixtape titled Yellow Tape, which debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200. On May 22, 2020, Key Glock released his sixth mixtape, Son of a Gun, again with no features.
