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.
Cathey has said he grew up listening to Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne, and cites Three 6 Mafia as his largest influence. He was also a big fan of Project Pat, whom he describes as the "Drake of Memphis". According to Glock, Pat's songs "If You Ain't From My Hood" and "Gorilla Pimp" changed his life. The latter's chorus inspired one of his breakout songs, "Dig That". The first track that Glock recorded himself was a freestyle of Future's "Ain't No Way Around It" in 2011.

His collaborative album Dum and Dummer with Young Dolph reached number eight on the Billboard 200. "Major" featuring Key Glock reached number 47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

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.
