Young Dolph will be continuously honored through a special project a year after he died.
On Friday, Young Dolph's posthumous album "Paper Route Frank" dominated the music streaming platforms. It was dropped over a year after the rapper, whose real name is Adolph Robert Thornton Jr, was mercilessly shot in his hometown, which led to his death.
But aside from his album, his estate prepared a special project to continuously immortalized his legacy.
Paper Route Empire and the Trap Music confirmed on Wednesday that the DOLPHLAND Pop-Up Museum Tour will open soon.
Per Billboard, the tour will start in New York City from Jan. 13 to 15.
"[The DOLPHLAND Pop-Up Museum Tour] will display original curated art and personal items that reflect Young Dolph's unforgettable lyricism, personality, entrepreneurial spirit, philanthropy, and historic moments from his legendary career," the press release said.
The tour will not stop in the Big Apple as it will also visit several cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago.
Fans can support the rapper by purchasing his merchandise through the Museum Tour. They can also join the contest to win $100,000; the winner will be announced after the tour.
Paper Route Empire CEO, Daddy-O, issued a statement to announce the project, saying its goal is to show the "character of a leader and businessman." They also aim to show the rapper's early beginnings to inspire young kids and entrepreneurs in their life journey.
Meanwhile, Young Dolph's manager and Street Execs Co-founder, Allen Parks, noted how huge the rapper's fanbase is. He recalled seeing the artist going out with his supporters and engaging with them.
Instead of just releasing his music, Parks said they would want to continue the engagement through the museum.
