Young Dolph’s Alleged Killers Request July 1st Court Date: Report

by

As Young Dolph’s family and fans continue to remember his legacy, the late rapper’s alleged killers, Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, have worked with their lawyers to move a hearing that was scheduled for May 27th to July 1st, with attorneys stating that “new discovery” must be viewed before they’re ready to work.

“[Smith and Johnson’s] attorneys have [requested that] today’s hearing be reset to July 1st,” FOX13‘s Jeremy Pierre revealed on Twitter late last week. “Smith’s Bond hearing will be on that day as well. Attorneys say they have received new discovery in the case that needs to be viewed.”

As Bossip notes – pending any further rescheduling – July could finally be the time when we get some answers into the alleged killer’s motives. Smith, who has spent nearly a year behind bars, will have a bond hearing at the same time, making it an interesting day for everyone involved.

Dolph was just 36 years old when he was fatally shot outside of Makeda’s Cookies in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. The father of two was hit as he was picking up a treat for his grandmother on the way to host his annual turkey giveaway in celebration of Thanksgiving.

Within days, police had several suspects (including Smith and Johnson) on their radar. Shortly after they were taken into custody, the two men asked the judge to allow them more time to secure financial backing to get adequate legal representation.

By January, though, the judge had run out of patience, demanding that the accused murderers find representation by February 4th.

by

Youngs Teflon spent a good chunk of 2021 under the radar. He released one single, “Sharks,” as fans anticipated his return. However, he’s been making up for his absence in the past few months with an influx of new music. In February, he unveiled the single, “Barcodes” ahead of the release of All Eyes On Me Against The World. Now, he’s returned with the official remix.

Drill music might be dominating the UK but Youngs Teflon’s latest record offers the griminess of New York’s golden era. The rapper returned with the remix of “Barcodes,” titled, “Da Codes” with some assistance from Giggs. The Peckham rapper sprinkles his menacing attitude over the piano-laden production to bring a deeper authentic feel to the song.

Check out the remix below.

Quotable Lyrics
I’m back with the Techas
I sat with the steppers
You wolves get clapped, I’m a shepherd
If life brings you lessons
They fold under pressure
And that’s when we bless him
