The first posthumous material to surface after the 2021 death of Memphis rapper Young Dolph feels like a natural continuation, achieving the same level of quality and personality as work released when he was still alive. Many albums released after a famous rapper dies are hollow, sad affairs cobbled together from leftovers and disconnected scraps. Paper Route Frank presents more of the Young Dolph fans love and remember: a grim but often hilarious storyteller, a technically skilled rapper who didn't need to get overly showy to make an impression, and someone who felt simultaneously larger than life and down to earth. The album's 13 cuts range from powerful brags of power, drugs, and sex on group track "Infatuated with Drugs" (featuring competitive bars from Snupe Bandz and Big Moochie Grape), woozy, midtempo, slow-burn bangers like the 2 Chainz collaboration "Beep Beep," and lengthy, detailed depictions of coming up in both rap game and street hustling, as on both blazing opener "Love for the Streets" and life story narrative "Hall of Fame," the album's strongest moment. Dolph is mostly on the mike alone throughout Paper Route Frank, but in addition to the previously mentioned guests, his cousin and frequent collaborator Key Glock shows up on the violin-laced beat of "That's How" and Gucci Mane contributes a slithering flow to "Roster," clearly borrowing from old-school Memphis rap. Paper Route Frank is a rare instance of a posthumous release that matches the quality of what the artist was creating while still alive, and gives us yet another reason to mourn the loss of a great rapper who still had more to say.
