Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. No awards, no charted songs, and little coverage in reliable secondary sources. Of the sources used in the article, most are song lists, YouTube, or make trivial mention of this artist. This source has some detail, but interviews are primary sources. As well, being the victim of a shooting does not enhance notability as a musician. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing stated in the article passes WP:NMUSIC, and the sourcing is not nearly good enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu: more than half of the footnotes are to YouTube videos, five more are to other unreliable and non-notability-supporting sources like DatPiff and Urban Dictionary, and the few that are actually real media are virtually all covering him in the context of getting shot rather than in the context of anything related to the notability criteria for musicians. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if his notability and sourceability improve — but based on the sourcing here, he's a WP:BLP1E who's notable only for having once been shot, which is not a notability claim that gets a person into an encyclopedia in and of itself.

Delete - classic run of the mill rapper known only for a single event as a crime victim. Bearian (talk) 17:49, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
