Last week, Paper Route Entertainment (PRE) and Trap Music Museum presented ‘Dolphland’ at the LA Art Box last Wednesday on Melrose in Los Angeles.
‘Dolphland’ celebrated Young Dolph, the late artist whose legacy has been appropriately preserved by both his fans and creative team. His newly released posthumous album Paper Route Frank, which hit the the Top 25, as well as some there songs played throughout the night in honor of a talented young rapper gone who was shot and killed in Memphis, Tennessee on November 17, 2021.
The event lasted about three hours and was very well constructed. With multiple rooms each symbolizing a different theme, the entire museum was a great attempt to sum up the career of the very talented rapper. Without giving too much away, I can say that there was one room which featured what his studio looked like.
We had the pleasure of speaking to Krystal Garner “KG” – Director of Brand Strategy & Partnerships for Trap Music Museum- who was able to tell us a little more about what the project and how it all started. KG
“PRE let us know they had this idea to make sure the world still loved Dolph understands Dolph, what he went through, what he overcame.” Each room, accompanied by a synopsis of the room’s themes, felt crucial to truly understanding Young Dolph and his music.
When asked for the goal of the museum, KG stated, “we wanted everyone to take away that this is us… as black people coming together, realizing our strengths to showcase the legacy of an amazing man.” Dolphland definitely achieved what it was going for, and anyone who attended is sure to remember Young Dolph for the artist and person that he was.
