Key Glock shared that he’s holding off on dropping another collab album with the late Young Dolph because of the “big hole” it would create inside him.
Glock got real about mourning his rap mentor during an episode of the Funky Friday podcast this week when Cam Newton brought up the possibility.
“I want to do another collab tape, of course, but it’s like, I’m not going to be as happy,” Glock admitted. “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 deeper into how putting together such a project would affect him emotionally.
“I’m going to put so much work and thought into making sure it’s what he would have wanted,” Glock explained. “It would put a big hole in me, and I ain’t tryna do that right now.”
During another part of the interview, Glock talked about how he copes with deaths in his life.
“I really don’t tap into my losses, my loved ones, too much,” he revealed. “I like to deal with that on my own.”
Glock and Dolph joined forces on multiple projects throughout their careers before Dolph’s tragic passing in 2021. In 2019, they dropped their collab album Dum and Dummer which has since earned gold certification from the RIAA. Two years later, they followed up with Dum and Dummer 2.
Just months after Dolph’s death, Key Glock and the other artists on Dolph’s Paper Route Empire label came together to release a tribute compilation, Long Live Dolph, in his memory.
Before that project dropped, Paper Route Empire’s CEO Daddyo shared a heartfelt message about Dolph’s immense importance to the entire 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 the time. “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.”
