Saltine aka The Mad Rapper

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Recording artist. After investigation, I believe the topic fails WP:N/WP:MUSIC since I can't find reliable sources covering the topic as required. Unless anyone else can, the article should be deleted. The most notable claims from the article are:

He enjoyed "global airplay". I find no sources to support that, but wouldn't really know where to look
One of his songs was used in a notable TV series, supported by a tv.com link
"Garned high praise from widely respected Billboard magazine" -- the best I can find about this is a digital image of that praise, but neither the song nor the artist seem to be listed at billboard.com at the moment.
