Young Dolph Announces Upcoming Album, Role Model, To Be Released Sept 21

Today, Young Dolph announces his upcoming album, Role Model, to be released on September 21st via the label he co-founded, Paper Route EMPIRE. A sly commentary on his industry stature as a pre-eminent independent rapper, Role Model provides a new context for Dolph’s braggadocio and proves that he does not need a big label to stand as a titan in the rap game. Taking shots at labels and oppressive industry bigwigs, Dolph triumphantly asserts his supremacy on the first single, “Major,” which features PRE artist Key Glock. “4s on the Mercedes, that’s major/Whole gang going crazy, that’s major/Millions on the table, that’s major/I turned dirt into diamonds, that’s major.”

The band were quoted as saying; “We’re extremely proud to finally release the music video for Zarathustra! When we finished writing the album it was always obvious to us that this was the song that needed to be put into picture and after going through a ton of technical issues and scheduling conflicts, we are thrilled to finally unveil it to the world.”

CORINA CORINA – ‘TOOTHBRUSH’ Coming Soon

An industry vet with multiple tours and self-released albums under her belt, alt-r&b singer Corina Corina has never seen an audience response like the one she gets when she performs “Toothbrush.” Her poised execution of this fresh take on the archetypical ballad of a woman scorned is reminiscent of some of her predecessors, such as Mary J. Blige, Stevie Nicks, and Alanis Morissette, and IT reinforces the frequent comparisons she gets to the legendary Janis Joplin.
