Key Glock - Yellow Tape 2 (2021)

Key Glock’s Yellow Tape 2—like its predecessor, 2020’s Yellow Tape, and the project that came between those two, 2020’s Son of a Gun—contains no credited features. Though Glock has played collaborator to artists like Project Pat and Gucci Mane and is the cousin and business partner of Young Dolph, the young Memphis MC wants his props to come from what he says in the booth and not who he can get to come to the studio.

Dutifully, Yellow Tape 2 is 20 tracks of Glock’s conspicuously well-enunciated South Memphis slick talk, sans the help of any of the numerous big dogs he’s been known to rub elbows with. Production here comes mainly from frequent collaborator Bandplay, who crafts a trap-heavy sound for him wholly reminiscent of mixtape-era Gucci Mane. Glock may not be releasing projects at the clip Gucci did during that period, but if the two share anything else in common, it’s that when all is said and done, they'll know exactly who was responsible for their success.
