King Of Memphis

Description

Ten years ago, Adolph Robert Thornton Jr. planted his flag. Released on February 19, 2016, King of Memphis was not just a debut studio album; it was a bold declaration of independence and an impeccable blueprint for personal success. To celebrate a decade of this foundational masterpiece of Southern rap, Empire pays tribute to Young Dolph's legacy with a series of exclusive limited-edition vinyls for its 10th anniversary.Before King of Memphis, Dolph had already built a solid fan base in the underground scene through a series of successful mixtapes. But this first official album propelled him from local hero to an essential figure on the national stage.By bypassing the major label system and releasing the album entirely on his own label, Dolph proved that undeniable talent, inexhaustible energy, and a sharp business sense were enough to conquer the top. The album reached the Top 50 of the Billboard 200, an incredible feat for a fiercely independent artist at the time.King of Memphis is a hard-hitting album with no filler. Across 11 tracks, Dolph's nonchalant flow and extraordinary charisma soar over powerful, iconic trap production, crafted by a team of legendary producers, including Mike WiLL Made-It, Zaytoven, TM88, and Cassius Jay.With no featured guests, the project relies entirely on Dolph's magnetic presence.
