  My favorite story about Young Dolph was when two baristas at a Duke coffee shop were fired for playing his music in the shop. Dolph found out and flew them to the Rolling Loud Festival, brought them on stage, gave them each $20,000 dollars, and then played "Get Paid"

  #YoungDolph is an INDIE role model. After exiting several major label deals, he embraced independence and invested his own $$$ into radio and digital and aligned with EMPIRE, a strategic partner that allowed him to maintain ownership and thrive. HE BET ON HIMSELF — and he won. 🙏

  A father, a family man, a mentor and community leader. Young Dolph was a pillar at EMPIRE and we are beyond devastated at his passing. Dolph embodied what it meant to be an independent leader to the fullest. pic.twitter.com/sZfgrVVDDg
