East Memphis, Tennessee rapper Big Moochie Grape and producer Zaytoven have a joint album, Grapetoven, an 11-track project HotNewHipHop covered on Sept. 25, 2026. Track 10 is titled "Still Signed to Dolph."


That title points to his late mentor, Young Dolph. According to his Last.fm biography, Moochie signed to Dolph's Paper Route Empire imprint in early 2020.


What's on Grapetoven

The album opens with "Cough That Up" and closes with "13 Days." Guests include Bally Baby on "Big Deposits," Trigga500k on "Ball Without the Dribble," Fetty P Franklin on "Brady Bunch" and Snupe Bandz on "What Are U." HotNewHipHop's Alexander Cole called the project "just banger after banger."


The pairing surfaced over the summer. HotNewHipHop reported that the East Memphis rapper "teamed up with Zaytoven" on "Genie," a July single that came with a video depicting him in a lavish mansion.


From Apple Blossom Drive to Paper Route

A press release posted by Audible Treats says his Halloween 2025 mixtape Nightmare On AB references the Nightmare films and his home block of Apple Blossom Drive in East Memphis. It was his second release of 2025, following Eat or Get Ate 2 (Deluxe).


Last.fm says he grew up in East Memphis listening to Three 6 Mafia and 8Ball & MJG, and he began taking rap seriously in 2017, when he found a studio where he could record a song for $20. His debut project was Eat or Get Ate, and in 2022 he released East Haiti Baby.


Hard years, real numbers

Audible Treats reported in January 2024 that Moochie performed "Wake 'Em Up" for 4ShootersOnly's From The Block series the same night he left the corrections facility, in a video the outlet's headline says was filmed outside the jail. The same report detailed East Haiti Baby: Incarcerated, with verses from incarcerated rappers including YFN Lucci, Rio Da Yung OG and Bankroll Freddie, plus an interlude from C-Murder.


It also noted that he and Paper Route Empire partnered with The Bail Project to match donations up to $20,000 in December 2023, and that the Bandplay-produced "Acting Up" had 30 million Spotify streams.


Why it matters in Memphis

His press materials quote Pitchfork calling his music "hard-working hustler music that never lets up" and HotNewHipHop calling East Haiti Baby the work of "one of Memphis's strongest frontrunners." Grapetoven puts Dolph's name on the track list and Zaytoven's name next to Moochie's in the credits.
