1xLP, Gatefold Jacket, Insert, Royalty Blue & Gold Galaxy Vinyl, Black Polylined Protective Sleeves
About:
Ten years ago, Adolph Robert Thornton Jr. planted his flag. Released on February 19, 2016, King of Memphis wasn't just a debut studio album; it was a bold declaration of independence and a flawless blueprint for self-made success. To celebrate a decade of this foundational Southern rap masterpiece, Paper Route Empire is honoring Young Dolph's legacy with a series of exclusive, limited-edition 10th Anniversary vinyl variants.
Before King of Memphis, Dolph had already built a massive underground following through a relentless run of mixtapes. But this official debut elevated him from a local hero to a national powerhouse.
By bypassing the major label system and releasing the project entirely through his own Paper Route Empire (PRE), Dolph proved that undeniable talent, relentless hustle, and business savvy were all you needed to take the crown. The album peaked in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200, an incredible feat for a fiercely independent artist at the time, and cemented his status as a CEO who called his own shots.
King of Memphis is all killer, no filler. Over 11 tracks, Dolph's signature slow-flow delivery and larger-than-life charisma glide over heavy-hitting, trap-defining production from a legendary lineup of producers, including Mike WiLL Made-It, Zaytoven, TM88, and Cassius Jay.
With zero guest features, the project relies entirely on Dolph's magnetic presence. From the motivational hustler's anthem "Get Paid" to the menacing confidence of "Let Me See It" and "Royalty," the album plays like a victory lap for a self-made king.
1xLP, Pressed on Royalty Blue & Gold A Side B Side Vinyl. Includes insert & housed in a gatefold jacket.
Key Selling:
- 1xLP, Pressed on Royalty Blue & Gold Galaxy Vinyl. Includes insert &
housed in a gatefold jacket.

- Young Dolph famously turned down multi-million dollar major label deals to stay independent, and this album was the proof that he didn't need them to chart on the Billboard 200
- The album features ZERO guest features, something rare in today's modern Hip-Hop landscape
