KEY! announces new project Marquis, shares “Hey! Intro”

Over the past few months, KEY! has been dropping a steady stream of impressive singles, leading toward the arrival of a bigger project. Today the Atlanta rapper has confirmed that he will drop Marquis on August 18. The opening track on the project, "Hey! Intro," is streaming, too. Check that out below.

Marquis will be released via Third & Hayden and is entirely produced by 21 Savage collaborator DJ Marc B. The tracklist includes previously-released singles "Crank Dat" featuring Redd Smash and "You Need God" featuring Tony Shhnow, plus guest appearances from Man Man Savage and fellow Two-9 collective member Jace.
