Key Glock revealed that he’s not planning on releasing another collab album with the late Young Dolph anytime soon because of the “big hole” it would put in him.
Glock opened up about grieving his rap mentor in an episode of the Funky Friday podcast this week when Cam Newton asked about the possibility.
“I want to do another collab tape, of course, but it’s like, I’m not going to be as happy,” Glock explained. ”I’m going to be more in the past. It really don't feel the same. Fans don’t understand, nobody will understand it.”
Glock went into detail about how putting together the project would make him feel.
“I’m going to put so much work and thought into making sure it’s what he would have wanted,” Glock said. “It would put a big hole in me, and I ain’t tryna do that right now.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Glock discussed how he deals with deaths in his life.
“I really don’t tap into my losses, my loved ones, too much,” he said. “I like to deal with that on my own.”
Glock and Dolph collaborated on multiple projects throughout their careers before the latter’s death in 2021. In 2019, they released their collab album Dum and Dummer that’s since been certified gold by the RIAA. Two years later, they released their follow-up project, Dum and Dummer 2.
A few months after Dolph’s death, Key Glock and the other artists on Dolph’s Paper Route Empire record label came together to release a compilation tape, Long Live Dolph, in his honor.
Ahead of the project’s release, Paper Route Empire’s CEO Daddyo shared a message declaring how important that Dolph was to the entire record label.
“In this life, the measure of a man isn’t what you managed to acquire, it’s how you treated other people," Daddyo said at thetime. “Did your life have meaning. Did you give more than you received. We are so grateful that his legacy has been solidified not by what he had, but what he accomplished. Since his passing, the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. And for this we are eternally grateful.”
