South Memphis rapper Young Dolph became a local hero with stern club bangers and cold punch lines served on a series of mixtapes that led to a nationwide breakthrough around 2014. After he hit the Billboard 200 with four albums ranging from King of Memphis (2016) to Role Model (2018), he levelled up with his first Top Ten album, the Key Glock collaboration Dum and Dummer (2019), and continued with the similarly successful Rich Slave (2020) and Dum and Dummer 2 (2021). In the process, he racked up gold records with singles such as "100 Shots," "Major," and "RNB," and was featured on O.T. Genasis' multi-platinum hit "Cut It." Dolph was fatally shot in 2021, and a posthumous album, Paper Route Frank, was released a year later.
