Music Career

With his experiences of life on the rough streets of Memphis informing his approach to rapping, Young Dolph was encouraged to create a mixtape.

His close relationship with his grandmother, who supported his creative activities, also influenced his decision to pursue a music career.

Young Dolph would go on to work with some of the richest rappers in the world before his untimely death from a gunshot wound in 2021.

Paper Route Campaign Mixtape & Early Career

Following encouragement from his friends and family, Young Dolph gained popularity in the Memphis area with the release of his first mixtape.

Titled Paper Route Campaign, it demonstrated his promising talent and inspiration from established rappers, including Master P and Baby.

He followed this release with a second mixtape, High Class Street Music, further establishing his raw and uncompromising approach to rapping.

Additional mixtapes further demonstrated his growing confidence as a performer, with several more additions to the High Class Street Music series.

Dolph also began to work closely with notable stars of the hip-hop community, including the Atlanta trap rapper Gucci Mane on 2013’s East Atlanta Memphis.

2014 Debut Album & Notable Singles

With multiple successful mixtapes under his belt, Young Dolph launched his inevitable debut album to the public in 2016, Kings of Memphis.

An ode to life on the streets of his hometown, the album was released on his independent label, Paper Route Empire, reaching 49th position on the Billboard Charts.

Having previously worked with Rick Ross on the final High Class Street Music release, Dolph’s rapping career was set to reach new heights.

As he enjoyed critical and commercial acclaim for his debut long-player, Dolph was caught up in a feud with rapper Yo Gotti.

The pair released a string of diss tracks between 2016 and 2018, with a shooting incident in 2017 inspiring the EP, Niggas Get Shot Everyday.

With a newfound notoriety in the hip-hop community, Dolph’s profile was raised, paving the way for future releases and his first top-ten album.

Chart Success With The Album Dum & Dummer

The success of his 2017 single “Major” had a profound effect on Young Dolph, who was reportedly offered $22 million for a new record label deal.

He continued to work on many singles and EPs, notably with Lil Durk on the 2018 track “Downfall,” which was featured on the album Signed to the Streets 3.

This was followed by a distribution deal with Empire Distribution, leading to his first major collaborative album, Dum and Dummer, in 2019.

The title, inspired by the comedy movie Dumb and Dumber, reflected the album’s satirical swipe at the rapping community and internal conflicts.

It became the first top-ten album Dolph had worked on to date, with critical praise noting his excellent songwriting range of insights into despair.

Later Works & Posthumous Releases

Following the critical and commercial success of Dum and Dummer, Young Dolph voiced his intention to retire in 2020 to spend time with his family.

At the same time, he released another single, “Sunshine,” while also dropping hints at another upcoming solo album in the pipeline.

This album, Rich Slave, landed in August 2020 and became his highest-charting release, peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 charts.

Young Dolph then returned to collaborate with Key Glock in 2021, working on the anticipated sequel to Dum and Dummer blending collaborations and solo songs.

Upon its release, Dum and Dummer 2 earned strong praise from music critics for its blend of pop music sensibilities with casual rapping.

Following the tragic death of Young Dolph in 2021, a posthumous album featuring some of his previously unreleased tracks was released to honor his legacy.

The album, Long Live Young Dolph, featured the single “LLD (Long Live Dolph)” and featured guest appearances from many of his associates.
