It would have been hard not to catch a glimpse of one of the many Paper Route Empire medallions Young Dolph has sported over the years, but how much do you really know about the Memphis-bred label? If you’re the police, not much—according to their lyrics, anyway—but the gang introduce themselves formally over the course of PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi’s 23 action-packed songs. If Dolph is the most recognisable name—aside from a Gucci Mane feature—he does his best to get out of the way for the likes of Key Glock, Snupe Bandz, Bigg Unccc, Big Moochie Grape, Kenny Muney, Jay Fizzle, PaperRoute Woo and a particularly impressive Joddy Badass. On the whole, PAPER ROUTE iLLUMINATi is adept gangsta rap in the Dolph mould, full of brags about hard-earned street money, the guns and jewellery the MCs keep with them at all times and, above all else, their ability to maintain a productive relationship with the plug. The lone female of the crew, Brooklyn-hailing Joddy sidesteps most of this in her solo showcase “333”, delivering venomous, cipher-annihilating bars like “All these bird bitches getting pissed off, steady writing diss bars/Worried ’bout me? Sis, worry bout your discharge.”
