Unlocked: Bonus Episode 26 - Who Killed Young Dolph?, an Exploration into Memphis Policing and Real Estate, Gang Injunctions and Gentrification, and Criminal Informants

<p>Today I attempt to understand one of rap's most recent tragedies, the murder of Young Dolph, through his music, through his life, and through his environment.</p> <p>Along the way, I discuss Memphis and Shelby County law enforcement and its controlling interests - Memphis realty and big business. We're talking the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission, Authorization of Agency, the Multi-Gang Agency Unit, and multi-million dollar urban revitalization development projects.</p> <p>I speculate on Young Dolph's rap beefs, such as they are, and discuss the many facets of Dolph's life, as well as the police investigation into his murder. More importantly, I discuss the frankly anomalous treatment that one of his murderers received over and over from the Shelby County court system. I explain the uses and abuses of criminal informants in the local, state, and federal judicial systems, and attempt to come to a conclusion about who may have ordered Young Dolph to be killed.</p> <p><strong>Memphis Truth Commission:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://memphistruth.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://memphistruth.org/</a></p> <p><strong>Songs:</strong></p> <p>Fuck It - Young Dolph</p> <p>Talking to My Scale - Young Dolph</p> <p>100 Shots by Young Dolph</p> <p>Get Paid - Young Dolph</p> <p>Preach - Young Dolph</p> <p>Major - Young Dolph</p> <p>Track Hawk - Straight Drop</p> <p>Blood All On It - Gucci Mane feat.
