Throwback Thursday: Young Dolph Throws “A Plus Day”

To show his hometown appreciation, Young Dolph threw a free citywide concert last May. 

People from all across the community traveled to South Memphis’ Lincoln Park for “A Plus Day.” The first of its kind, the gathering boasted both high-energy performances and motivational commentary for the youth. 

Swarms of people crowded around a platform inside the park as they rapped along to each track Dolph performed. The promising emcee also brought out a few guests, which included the likes of 8Ball & MJG, Don Trip, Drumma Boy, Starlito, Paul Wall, and Travis Porter.

Other people in attendance for A Plus Day were DJ Squeeky, K97 radio personality Devin Steel, and former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton.
