Key to the Streets

This is a single from Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci's second mixtape, Wish Me Well 2, which was released under the Atlanta imprint Think It's A Game Records on February 23, 2016. Asked to describe the song's message, Lucci told Billboard magazine: "Where you come from isn't always where you're going to end up. Dream big, because there are more things out there. We're showing that we're young n---as from the street and we still made it out."

The beat was supplied by Texas producer June James. Lucci explained in a Genius attribution: "I met June James in Houston at a meet-and-great. He told me he had beats. I checked them out, I started listening—he had a sound that I liked. I was messing with it. I pulled up his beats to record over. The first one I played they were smellin'. I got a lot with him."

Quavo from Migos raps the first verse and also joins Lucci on the hook. Asked how he connected with Quavo, Lucci replied: "Basically I pulled up on Quavo at Quality Control studios [in Atlanta] to get some work in. When I got there, he was working with Ty Dolla $ign and I started pulling up some beats and the first beat I pulled up was the 'Key to the Streets' beat by John James. Quavo walked in the booth and jumped on it."
