Adolph Robert Thornton Jr. (born July 27, 1985 - November 17, 2021) was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States. He is an American rapper. He is professionally known as Young Dolph. Young Dolph's journey to stardom commenced with a pivotal feature on O.T. Genasis' 2015 hit "Cut It," a collaboration that catapulted him into the limelight, showcasing his dynamic flow and distinctive style. This breakout moment served as a precursor to his solo ventures, laying the foundation for his ascent.
In 2016, Young Dolph unveiled his inaugural studio album, "King of Memphis," a testament to his unwavering dedication and artistic vision. The album, which debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200, solidified his position as a formidable force in the rap arena. With each subsequent release, he continued to captivate audiences, culminating in the triumph of his fifth album, "Rich Slave," in 2020, which soared to number four on the charts, underscoring his enduring relevance and resonance within the industry.
