"Pop the Glock / Ready to Uff" is the first release from French/American electro artist Uffie. The release includes "Pop the Glock" and "Ready to Uff", her first two singles. "Pop the Glock" started out as a Myspace demo and ended up gaining Uffie international fame. Uffie recorded "Pop the Glock" in 2005 when she was only 17 years old and after showing it to Busy P, owner of French electronic label Ed Banger Records she was offered a record deal. "Pop the Glock" was written by Uffie and produced by Feadz and samples the beat and lyrics from Top Billin' by 1980s hip-hop duo Audio Two. "Ready to Uff", written by Uffie and Feadz, while produced by Mr. Oizo was included as the B-side to the release and was also released as a successful single later on.

A music video for "Pop the Glock" was released on October 3, 2009 and was directed by Nathalie Canguilhem.[1] The video was shot at the house featured in Boogie Nights[2] features a guest appearance from Sky Ferreira.[3]
