23-year-old Atlanta based rapper Key! has been making waves in the Atlanta music scene for some time. He is one of the visionary artists responsible for building Atlanta’s own answer to hip hop super-groups, Two-9. This collective gained notoriety for a distinct sound that Key! has described as ‘old Atlanta bass music, just slowed down.’ Key! parted ways with Two-9 in 2012 to venture off on a solo career.
With numerous projects under his belt, including 2012’s Mothers Are the Blame and 2013’s Fathers Are the Curse, Key! is continuing to establish himself as an amalgamation of his city’s sound for a new generation. Tracks like “U Guessed It” and “Grown Ass Man” as well as work with OG Maco, Juicy J, have earned him steadily increasing attention and industry-wide respect. Key! is also recognized for his unique ability to identify and nurture the talent of his peers. Key! is currently buzzing with his underground hit “Look at Wrist” by Father also featuring Makonnen and his recently released EP, FKEYi in collaboration with Producer FKi.
