==Early life==

== Career ==
In 2008 he was involved in a car accident which nearly took his life and later that same year his grandmother died from lung cancer. These series of incidents motivated his “wake up” call. He started doing music around that time because it served as an emotional release. In addition, Young Dolph and his fellows all complained about fake rappers telling stories about what they’ve never done, witnessed or experienced. His partners encouraged him to do more music after hearing his first song, even though he did it simply for fun. His first mixtape, Paper Route Campaign, was a success and confirmed his journey into the entertainment industry.<ref name="Young Dolph - TrapworldHipHop"/>
