"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 and heavy bassline, while the lyrics are about earning money by any means.
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."
Music video
An official music video was directed by Chris Villa. A teaser trailer for the clip was released on January 10, 2024, 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. It incorporates scenes of "John Wick-style gun fu", which Key Glock learned from a stunt coordinator for the film, as well as flashy cars and lavish settings. After winning a game of poker with a straight flush, Glock engages in a fistfight in the back of a kitchen. He and Lapri kill the security through martial arts. As the building blows up behind them, the duo begins their crime spree across Miami, which involves them disguising their identities, robbing a convenience store and bank, stealing a car, a highway police chase and resulting shootout. When the police close in on them, Key Glock carries out an unexpected escape plan.
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.
