Masters of their craft with a natural chemistry, Young Dolph and Key Glock have earned a reputation as one of the best duos in recent rap history. Coming through with another high-quality video from Dum And Dummer 2, the Memphis natives share “A Goat & A Dolphin.” The CLDHRT & Bandplay-produced track is one of the most quotable tracks on a very quotable project (“Two straps on me, yeah, Drake & Josh,” says Glock), the two rappers one-upping each other in their 8-bar verses. In the video, Dolph and Glock perfect their flexing, counting cash in front of a portrait of a dolphin-goat hybrid. “A Goat & A Dolphin” arrives after the release of videos for some of Dum And Dummer 2‘s solo showcases, including Dolph’s “Hashtag” and Glock’s “I Can Show You.”
Debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200, Dum and Dummer 2 generated nearly 36k sales equivalent units across platforms and scored the fifth-biggest streaming debut on Spotify during its first week of release. Earlier this month, the album received a glowing review from Pitchfork, who awarded the album a 7.5 score and cemented Young Dolph & Key Glock as a “once-in-a-generation” rap duo, akin to 8Ball & MJG or Method Man & Redman, and “one of the most in-sync alliances in the genre today.” Dum & Dummer 2 is the duo’s second Top 10 album, following the original Dum and Dummer, which debuted at #8 in 2019.
Dum and Dummer 2 finds Dolph & Glock operating at a high level of craftsmanship, charisma, and luxury. With artwork that references MTV’s most famous duo, Beavis & Butthead, Dum & Dummer 2 establishes the two rappers (and cousins) as two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off. With production from PRE’s own Bandplay, among others, Dum & Dummer 2 is home to a series of standout singles, including the hauntingly flex-heavy“Case Closed,“ the classily ratchet “Sleep With The Roaches,“ the ice cold opening track “Penguins,” the Young Dolph-directed “RAIN RAIN,” and the soulful winter-weather celebration “Aspen,” which has over 7 million views on YouTube.
