Fails WP:SINGER. They might pass part 10 of WP:SINGER but it's a pretty weak case. Searched Google and wasn't able to find new information but this isn't my area of expertise so if someone can point me a better direction add it as a comment and I'll go looking for it.

 * Comment I suppose if the song was used prominently in the video game, I'd give it a pass under part 10 of MUSIC SINGER, simply having a song on an album isn't enough, based on how I read it. I've not played the game so I can't comment how prominently it's featured. Oaktree b (talk) 19:50, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete Very little significant, independent, and reliable coverage beyond the local news TV interview of the single event of him being one of 10 out of 10,000 to win a spot on the game's soundtrack. Uhai (talk) 10:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The DCTop20 artist profile of him appears to be legitimate coverage at first, but looking closer it's a promotional company for artists that he's likely paying (see here), so any of its content is not independent or reliable.
 * The Hype Magazine source gives conflicting information regarding the contest, saying that it was 8 tracks selected out of 20,000 instead of 10 out of 10,000, so I'm not inclined to say it's reliable.
 * The HipHopDX article is just two paragraphs, one of which is just a quotation, so it's not really significant or independent.
 * The local news TV interview also states it was 20,000 submissions but the offical NBA 2K YouTube video description states 10 out of 10,000 so that's what I'm taking as the source of truth.
 * Additionally, from what I was able to learn (here), his track wasn't even part of the original soundtrack of the game but was added to the game later alongside other tracks with updates to the game. To me, this doesn't even qualify him for WP:SINGER #10.  The claim that he also has a track on the NBA 2K21 "next gen soundtrack" (which is, again, a collection of additional tracks that are not part of the original 2K21 soundtrack) appears completely unsubstantiated as I could find nothing that supports this beyond his own LinkedIn page.
