"Dirt" is a song by American rapper Key Glock, released on February 24, 2023, as part of his album Glockoma 2. The track was produced by The MarTian SMG and gained attention for its brooding production and viral appeal across streaming platforms.

Background

[edit]

"Dirt" appears on Glockoma 2, the sequel to Key Glock's 2018 mixtape Glockoma. The song’s beat originated from an instrumental titled "Soulmate," reportedly created in 2021 and later registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. It was produced by The MarTian SMG, who later sought proper credit for the work.

Production

[edit]

The instrumental features a minimal trap arrangement with layered synths and deep bass. According to available records, the beat used in "Dirt" is nearly identical to the original "Soulmate" version. The track did not initially credit the producer in official metadata, which led to later correction efforts.
