After the tragic loss of Young Dolph, it seems that the proverbial baton has been passed to Key Glock. The 26-year-old Memphis MC soaked up so much knowledge from the “old man” and now he has become one of, if not the best, from the city. That statement can be backed up from the slew of singles and remixes “Mr. Glock” has put out. One track that we can add to the stacked list of releases is his latest offering, “The Greatest.”
This single follows up on renditions of the Glockoma 2 (Deluxe) banger “Let’s Go,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. Over the last several weeks, Glock brought an EDM remix with Alok, and a fire posthumous verse from his mentor. “The Greatest” sees the aggressive spitter flex his muscles and boast about his skills. He sets the tone right from the jump, saying, “Yuh, they call me Glock and the G stand for “Greatest” (Yuh).”
Over the thumping BandPlay beat, Glock brings a slippery flow that feels reminiscent of something Offset would lay down. But it does not feel like a blatant rip off by any means. “The Greatest” could be a single for the long awaited Glocktober tape, which was teased late last year. We had belief that Key was going to drop the tape in October based on the title, the color scheme for the single cover arts, and that he was dropping the singles during that month. However, we are still waiting, and hopefully it drops sooner than later.
