"Let's Go" is a song by American rapper Key Glock from the deluxe edition of his third studio album Glockoma 2 (2023). Produced by King Wonka and Hadouken Beats, it contains a sample of "Zoriuszka" by Werchowyna.
Composition
The instrumental of the song features "chopped-up" choirs[1] and heavy bassline,[2] while the lyrics are about earning money by any means.[3]
Critical reception
Tallie Spencer of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "what sets 'Let's Go' apart is his ability to balance street narratives with catchy hooks, creating a track that resonates with a broad audience." In addition, she stated the production "serves as a perfect backdrop for Key Glock's assertive flow."[2]
Music video
An official music video was directed by Chris Villa. A teaser trailer for the clip was released on January 10, 2024,[4] before the visual was released on January 16, 2024. The video co-stars actress Alix Lapri and sees Key Glock executing daring, violent heists alongside her.[2][3][5][6] It incorporates scenes of "John Wick-style gun fu", which Key Glock learned from a stunt coordinator for the film,[5][6][7] as well as flashy cars and lavish settings.[2] After winning a game of poker with a straight flush, Glock engages in a fistfight in the back of a kitchen.[7] He and Lapri kill the security through martial arts.[3] As the building blows up behind them, the duo begins their crime spree across Miami,[6][7] which involves them disguising their identities,[6] robbing a convenience store[5][6] and bank, stealing a car,[7] a highway police chase[2][3][7] and resulting shootout.[3] When the police close in on them, Key Glock carries out an unexpected escape plan.[5]
Remix
An official remix by Brazilian DJ Alok was released on March 29th 2024. A second official remix featuring late American rapper Young Dolph was released on April 12th 2024.
