Deeeeep In The Delta.....
I definitely knew the name but not necessarily the music. In fact, I could tell you more about Makeda’s Cookie joint where he was gunned down (real good & down to earth peeps).
So I spent time checking him out on interviews. From my observation, he seemed genuine. I’ve also seen so many former students and youngsters that I know in the city showing him nothing but respect and love. I’m still learning about the beefs he may have had (or more so, what someone may have had with him).
The only thing I can conclude is that he was a victim of some typical hating. He was in the city briefly to continue what he was already doing for years which was to share his resources. My life’s work is for ish like this to never happen, so to say this disturbs me even more now that I’ve learned about him more is an understatement.
1. It wasn't Soulja Boy. You can critcize SB for a lot of things but he's more bark than bite
2. As you correct said, this was some street s__ and more than one dude wanted him gone. The guy who allegedly killed him may have some ties to 1-2 of the people who Dolph had issues with. Dolph purchased a couple of bullet proof cars so they caught him slipping in the Lambo at the cookie shop
3. He was lowkey doing some real power move stuff buying up property in Memphis so to see him taken out like this is just disheartening but I hope some more Memphis rappers continue to carry out his vision (because "they" are starting to buy up Memphis like they did ATL)
