This rapper doesn't appear to be notable. He fails WP:MUSIC and doesn't pass WP:GNG either, as the only coverage of his music I could find came from a few blogs, almost all of them self-published. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 11:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm seeing some mentions in non-notable blogs, but nothing I would consider significant coverage in reliable sources. Seems WP:TOOSOON for this rapper to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Gong show 04:26, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
