The ‘Let’s Go’ remix deserves ample replays
Whether you’re here for Young Dolph or can’t get enough of Glock’s signature bars, it’s the best of both worlds courtesy of the duo’s ‘Let’s Go’ remix anthem.
When he was building his Paper Route Empire, the legendary rapper and mogul Young Dolphhandpicked his cousin Key Glock to be his consigliere, rap partner, and successor, recognizing the young man's work ethic and singular talent. Since Dolph tragically passed in 2021, Key Glock has been holding it down for PRE and the city of Memphis, becoming a major star in his own right, all while keeping Dolph's name alive. Today, Key Glock honors his mentor once more, adding a verse from Dolph to a new remix of "Let's Go," one of his biggest solo hits to date. This is the first song to feature both Glock and Dolph since "Thats How," a highlight from Paper Route Frank, Dolph's 2022 album.
A motivational record that transforms a Slavic folk chant into an arena-rap anthem, "Let's Go" is an undeniable epic, which has racked up streams in the tens of millions, charted on the Billboard Hot 100, reached the Top 5 on Urban Radio, and has earned play in sports stadiums across the globe. The new remix adds an archival verse from Dolph, whose imperial, good-natured flexing fits perfectly over the towering instrumental: "The Henny got her loose/I think she lost one shoe!/Her head game the truth," asserts Dolph. Key Glock also provides some new bars for the latest version of the song, flaunting his new Cybertruck as he proves he's as "fly as Peter Pan."
The brand new 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, and hit the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart(#23 peak) and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (#29 peak).
Last month, Key Glock united with Brazilian producer Alok, one of the world's most popular EDM artists, for a high octane "Let's Go" (Alok Remix). With over 166 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 "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.
