According to REVOLT, it was announced that EMPIRE would be working with Young Dolph’s estate to liberate his first posthumous release, Paper Route Frank. Fans were also able to check out a single from said project titled “Get Away,” a bittersweet offering that saw the late rapper opening up about his mental health post-fame:
“Got tired of rein’ up and trappin’, now a n-gga sick of rappin’, all of this sh-t just too basic, my past, I wish I could erase it… been a while since I went to church, hide my pain and tears in a verse, don’t nobody understand me, f–k some fame, f–k a GRAMMY, wish I could go be with my granny, sacrificed it all for the family…”
On December 12, 2022, a newspaper ad made its way to social media, which revealed that Paper Route Frank will be dropping this Friday December 16, 2022. In addition, a track listing confirmed that the album will consist of 13 songs and additional features from Key Glock, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Big Moochie Grape, and Snupe Bandz.
Upon its arrival, Paper Route Frank will follow Dolph’s 2020 release, Rich Slave, a 16-track offering with contributions from Glock, Megan Thee Stallion, and G Herbo. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 65,000 album-equivalent units, the Memphis rapper’s highest to date.
The following year, he would team up with Glock for the equally successful Dum and Dummer 2. Tragically, Dolph, whose born name was Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., would lose his life several months later at the age of 36 to a gunshot wound while in his hometown of Memphis retrieving his favorite cookies for his mother.
