Glockaveli


Glockaveli is the fourth studio album by American rapper Key Glock. It was released on May 2, 2025, through Paper Route Empire and Republic Records, as his major-label debut album.

Background and promotion

First announced in August 2024, Glockaveli experienced several delays. It was initially set for release on September 13, 2024, coinciding with the anniversary of 2Pac's death, but was postponed to February 12, 2025. Less than two weeks before that date, it was delayed again to March 14. After further reworking of the album, its official release date was finalized as May 2, 2025.
The rollout began on February 7, 2025, with the lead single "3AM in ToKEYo". On March 13, Key Glock followed up with the second single, "No Sweat", which launched the album's pre-order phase and came with a major announcement: his signing to Republic Records. Despite this, Key Glock remains associated with Young Dolph's label, Paper Route Empire.
The album's third single, "The Grinch", was released on April 18, 2025. On April 25, Key Glock unveiled the official tracklist via Instagram, which later appeared on the album's pre-save page on Apple Music. It confirmed that one of his most anticipated songs, the title track "Glockaveli" - featuring a sample of 2Pac's "Hail Mary" - will appear as track two on the 18-song project. The track was first teased in August 2022 during his Yellow Tape 2 International Tour vlog. "She Ready" was released to urban contemporary radio as the album's fourth single on May 27, 2025.
On May 5, 2025, Key Glock released an extended version of the album titled Glockaveli: The Don, featuring three additional bonus tracks. The deluxe edition of the album, titled Glockaveli: All Eyez on Key, was released on August 29, 2025.
