In 2008, Young Dolph released his first mixtape Paper Route Campaign.[12] Two years later, he formally established his label Paper Route Empire in 2010, an independent record label not affiliated with a major record label, and subsequently released Welcome 2 Dolph World that same year.[12][9] With the release of mixtapes High Class Street Music and High Class Street Music Episode 2 in 2011, Dolph began to develop his own rap flow, shifting away from a style similar to Memphis rappers Three 6 Mafia and 8Ball & MJG instead to a personal style described as “vociferous” with a “magnetic delivery and uniquely deep voice”.[13][14] With Dolph’s increasing popularity, Memphis rapper Yo Gotti offered him a record deal with Gotti’s Collective Music Group label (affiliated with Epic Records) in August 2014, but Dolph declined, preferring to remain independent.

Later that year, he released his debut album King of Memphis under his independent Paper Route Empire label, which peaked at number 49 on the Billboard 200.[13] Other Memphis rappers (including Yo Gotti and Gotti-affiliated Blac Youngsta) took offense at the album title, with Youngsta leading an armed group attempting to find Young Dolph in Memphis and releasing a diss track, “SHAKE SUM (Young Dolph Diss)” in response.[14] The following year Dolph released a diss track against Yo Gotti entitled “Play Wit Yo’ Bitch”, prompting Gotti to release a response song. Two weeks later, in February 2017, Dolph released a music video for “Play Wit Yo’ Bitch”; the next day, his own vehicle was the target of gunfire in Charlotte, North Carolina, while in town for a performance at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament.[9][14][15] His car was reportedly shot over 100 times but was outfitted with bulletproof panels, and no one was hurt.[9][15] Following the shooting, Blac Youngsta and two other men were arrested, but the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence.[16] Young Dolph used the publicity from the shooting to promote his second studio album Bulletproof.[17] In September that same year he was shot multiple times; in February 2018, he released the extended play Niggas Get Shot Everyday, referencing this prior incident.
