Dream Chasers Records signee Tafia just dropped his new album Mention My Name, and it features a posthumous verse from Young Dolph.
Entitled “Paper Route,” the collaboration is named after the Memphis rapper’s record label. “All we know is killing, all I see is millions,” Dolph raps. “Everybody wanna trap but they ain’t built for it/Who want it the baddest? Will you kill for it?”
It’s not the first posthumous verse to come from Dolph, as Paper Route delivered a tribute project featuring bars from him earlier this year. The new verse did come as a surprise to many fans, though, because Tafia didn’t unveil the feature until it dropped.
“That last feature, I couldn’t spoil that one,” said Tafia in a message shared on Instagram. “It’s special, know what I’m saying?” When Tafia unveiled the tracklist for the project this week, the feature on “Paper Route” was censored even though the track title was a huge hint.
Dolph was shot and killed in Memphis in November 2021 at age 36, and his autopsy results were publicly released earlier this month. Per the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center, Dolph was shot a total of 22 times when he was attacked. The medical examiner said the rapper suffered “gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and torso.” His death was ruled a homicide.
