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.

My little bitch she bad as fuck and told her shine
Don't this turbo sound good when it crank
A quarter million for a fucking fish tank
Ay, hitting it from behind she said smack it
She the owner a daycare but she ratchet
The car drives it self when I say Go Go Gadget
Down for my niggas like Snoop, C Murder and Magic
Riding with them yoppas you can have it man
I just picked up 50 bags out the baggage claim
None of my niggas ain't got a job like I'm Martin Payne
Trap nigga that's a low down dirty shame
Break the bank bitch (yeah)

Dominique I swing and bang it
Yeah the coupe came from Uranus
Cut the top, chop it off no brainer
100 racks in the Goyard ain't it
For the bag, P90 get to aiming
Look at the 'guettes in my wrist off raining
Get the Benjamins and tame 'em
Take 'em to the field and range them
I got twenty million dollar bank statements
I got a hundred million dollar worth flavor
If the bitch gon' drown don't save her
Rip the bag open, lookin' at all this cash
Smokin', smokin' on cook', this bag potent
Hop in that 'Rari I try to move over
Got two milli stashed in a pad in Dakota
I got them dead president rollin' over
Now switchin' my 'fit 'til the dope all over
I'm holdin' a mill, I sprained my shoulder
