Born Adolph Thornton, Jr. in Chicago, Dolph debuted in 2008 with the mixtape Paper Route Campaign. Subsequent releases like The Weed Album and South Memphis Kingpin brought him to 2012, when he dropped the first in a successful series of mixtapes dubbed High Class Street Music . By the time High Class Street Music 4 and the Preach single dropped in 2014, Dolph was working with major-label producers including Drumma Boy and Zaytoven. Both provided tracks for his 2016 debut LP, King of Memphis, which featured no guest artists, and debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
A trio of mixtapes followed, ending withm Rich Crack Baby. The album entered the Billboard 200 upon release and included guest appearances by Boosie Badazz, 2 Chainz, Wale, T.I., Gucci Mane, and 21 Savage. Another mixtape, Gelato, followed in early 2017, containing the Yo Gotti diss track Play wit Yo' Bitch as well as tracks featuring Migos, Wiz Khalifa, and Lil Yachty. Dolph's second studio album,Bulletproof, was released in April of 2017 and reached the Top 40 of the Billboard 200. Mere months later, he issued Thinking Out Loud, which featured guest spots by DRAM, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, and Ty Dolla $ign. The album was another success, hitting number 16 on the Billboard 200.
In early 2018, Dolph issued the EP Niggas Get Shot Everyday, following up later that year with the Key Glock collaboration Major (feat. Key Glock) and the solo track By Mistake The full-length Role Model appeared later in the year and became Dolph's highest-charting album to date, hitting number 15 on the Billboard 200. One year later, Dolph joined frequent collaborator Key Glock for 2019's Dum and Dummer, the pair's first collaborative mixtape. Dolph's seventh studio album, Rich Slave, arrived in August 2020 and found him addressing issues of racism and inequality in America. Included on the album were guest appearances by Megan Thee Stallion, Key Glock, and G Herbo. In 2021, Dolph and Glock reunited for Dum and Dummer 2, followed promptly by PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi, a showcase album for Dolph's Paper Route Empire label. Young Dolph died on November 17, 2021 after he was shot while visiting a bakery in Memphis en route to a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway. He was 36 years old.

Young Dolph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Hey, bring me some Backwoods up outta there, homie and a cup of ice
And some rubber bands up outta there too, homie, yeah
It's 3 PM, 80 degrees outside
I'm in somethin' that go real fast, sittin' outside the cornerstore
Six figure client got no business in this area
If it ain't one thing, it's a motherfuckin' 'nother (goddamn)
I pay her bills and buy her designer but I don't love her (hey, what you need, lil' mama?)
She just play her part when it's time to smug her (ayy, you ready?)
I pull up, pick up that bag, and burn rubber (skrrt)
I got a sweet tooth but I stay away from suckers (for real though)
Nobu in Malibu was my last supper (we eatin' good)
I fucked her in rush hour traffic, Chris Tucker (haha, yeah)
Everybody screamin' gang, gang, gang (gang)
Them folks come and get you, you gon' tell on the whole gang (gang)
She said can she fuck me with my diamond chains?
If I ain't in the bank, then I'm on the plane (yeah, hey)
'Bout to go get some money or go spend some money (yeah)
They stopped me in the airport, had too many Benjis on me (Franklins)
They don't want you to live, they don't want you to ball
Them pussies smile in your face, yeah, then they pray for you to fall, hey
Young nigga stay focused (yeah)
But I really want to crash (damn)
Think about where you at (okay)
Then think about your past (you right)
Yeah, I really came from shit (yeah)
But I won't change for shit (nah)
My bitch say I'm stuck in my ways (yeah)
My wrist say I been getting paid (yeah)
A hunnid shots, a hunnid shots
Me and my niggas pull up in a hunnid drops (skrrt)
My role model used to get a hunnid blocks (hey, hey)
Street niggas in a tuxedo, we the mob (yeah)
She looked at my watch too long, now she see stars (blaow, blaow)
I got so high last night I did a show on Mars (woo)
Yo' bitch ate my dick, I caught her on them bars (Xanax)
My pinky ring extra large (yeah)
Foreigns all in the garage
Remember my first mรฉnage (yeah)
Yeah, Toya and Brittany (yup)
I'm shoppin' for diamonds at Tiffany's (Tiffany's)
Nah, I don't got no sympathy (nah)
She blew my whistle like a referee (wet)
Broke black nigga, remember me? (Hey)
Until I found out that recipe (yeah, woo)
Started gettin' 'bout ten a week (yeah)
Finger on the trigger when I sleep (yup)
Yeah, nigga, I rather you than me (yeah)
Backseat, smokin' good weed (Gelato)
A hunnid shots (a hunnid shots), a hunnid shots (a hunnid shots)
How the fuck you miss a whole hunnid shots?
You not welcome at my trap if you don't shop (ayy, get out, bruh)
Before you come through that back door you better knock (ayy, get the door)
They been waitin' on this gangster shit to drop (bulletproof)
Even them fuck niggas that wish I could be stopped (yeah, hey, hey)
How many dicks you sucked to get that couple million? (Hahaha)
Self made millionaire, oh what a feelin' (yeah, yeah)
My niggas came from dealin' (ayy)
Fuck nigga get out your feelings (ayy)
Your bitch gave me sexual healin' (woo)
Guess who just walked in the buildin'? (It's Dolph)
Came out with six bitches (wet)
My uncle said, "That's pimpin'"
My diamonds always hittin' (uh)
You lookin' for your bitch, she with me nigga, she ain't missin' (nah)
I told you fuck niggas stay out my way, but you didn't listen (stupid ass niggas, yeah)
Big rocks (hey, hey), in my watch (in my watch)
And we put extensions in all of the Glocks (haha)
A hunnid shots (a hunnid shots), a hunnid shots (a hunnid shots)
How the fuck you miss a whole hunnid shots?
Yeah, it's Dolph
How the fuck you miss a whole hunnid shots?
In "100 Shots," Young Dolph paints a picture of his lavish lifestyle and the struggles that come with fame. He starts the song by requesting for Backwoods, rubber bands, and a cup of ice before singing about driving through an unfamiliar neighborhood in his expensive car. He contrasts the lavish aspects of his life with his past struggles and hustles. Dolph doesn't shy away from addressing his haters and people who wish ill on his life, and he cautions about the implications of being too flashy and trusting the wrong people in the industry. The repeated refrain of "a hundred shots" refers to the shooting incident where he was the victim which resulted in the title of his album "Bulletproof."
Overall, the song speaks to the tension that comes with extreme wealth, success, and fame. As Dolph brags about his expensive jewelry, luxury cars, and his ability to provide for those around him, the song's hook reminds listeners of the danger that lurks around him. Dolph's lyrics illustrate that he is not immune to the same problems faced by anyone in his position. The song goes to show that while all that glitters might not be gold, having the money to afford luxuries is thrilling.
