Young Dolph is a rapper that literally started from the bottom, growing his brand bit by bit in the streets of Memphis, Tennessee. He released his first mixtape, Welcome To Dolph World, in 2009 and by the next year, literally flooded the city with the project, so that everyone was familiar with his craft. However, it wasn't until he dropped I Need My Medicine that he began to gain real national traction, followed by the release of "A Plus" in 2012.

Fast forward to today, Young Dolph has released seven mixtapes and appeared on Billboard's Emerging Artist list twice. Once placing for "Preach," which now has over three million plays on YouTube, and another time with "Making The World Go Around." Both placements occurring in 2015.

Although he has yet to release an official album, Dolph feels like every project he's crafted is an album in his standards. Dolph is actually currently prepping his independent debut LP.
