OPD Presents Key! and Friends. With the release of ‘So Emotional 2,’ Key! is set to perform his album as well as classics from his extensive catalog.
A full hour performance followed by full sets by Shad Da God + Tony Shhnow Cleveland's own Tezo, Freshie and IloveKayshtoo will open the night.
Key!, the Atlanta rapper known for his raw emotion and genre-defying sound, continues to push boundaries with his latest project, So Emotional 2. This highly anticipated sequel to his 2019 mixtape builds on his already impressive catalog, cementing Key! as one of the most versatile and innovative voices in hip-hop today.
Having made waves with his groundbreaking work on collaborations like Key! & Kenny Beats’s 777 and The Alpha Jerk, Key! has earned a reputation for his ability to blend introspective, vulnerable lyrics with trap-influenced production. His previous projects, including I Love You Say It Back and So Emotional, showcased his growth both as a rapper and a producer, proving that he’s not just an artist but a force within Atlanta’s ever-evolving rap scene.
With So Emotional 2, Key! brings his signature sound to new heights. The project digs deeper into the emotional layers of his personal journey, balancing moments of self-reflection and heartbreak with high-energy anthems. Themes of love, loss, and ambition flow throughout the mixtape, while experimental production and catchy hooks keep the music fresh and unpredictable.
Key!’s willingness to open up about the darker sides of fame, relationships, and mental health resonates with listeners, making him a voice for a generation struggling to balance emotional vulnerability and the pressures of modern life. So Emotional 2 is more than just an album—it’s a powerful statement about embracing one’s feelings and finding strength in vulnerability.
From his collaborations with major artists like 21 Savage and JID to his solo work, Key! has proven time and time again that he’s not afraid to take risks and evolve. With So Emotional 2, he doubles down on his commitment to creating music that feels real, raw, and unapologetically him.
