Thinking Out Loud

Thinking Out Loud is the third studio full-length from Memphis rapper Young Dolph, arriving less than seven months after April 2017's Bulletproof. The album also appeared after Dolph survived a shooting in Los Angeles -- the second attempt on his life that year, following the event in Charlotte, North Carolina which inspired Bulletproof. Like his previous two studio albums, Thinking Out Loud is brief but potent, with Dolph bluntly reflecting on his own mortality as well as the safety and well-being of his family. The album includes guest appearances by Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, and D.R.A.M., and it debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200.
