It's possible that an article could be written about this person; but this is not an article, it's an advertisement. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  22:17, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 * comment There's two musical sources here: AllMusic and HipHop Golden Age, assuming the latter counts as a RS. Somehow the article is longer than both put together. Not sure about the other stuff yet. He may well be notable, but the first thing to do would be to cut the article to bare well-sourced bones and rebuild it from the ground up - David Gerard (talk) 00:46, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable hip hop musician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:52, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * AllMusic suggests he's a plausible prospect (not a slam dunk, but not impossible) for notability ... the main problem with this article is it's awful, it will if kept need rebuilding from the RSes up - David Gerard (talk) 09:59, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Cold Crush Brothers, of which Easy AD is most strongly associated. I found limited, local press on his current activities with the Hip Hop Public Health project in schools (e.g., , and even a mention in the New York Times ), but the sources seem to be more about the project than Easy AD himself, and so any notability still comes primarily from The Cold Crush Brothers. I don't see evidence of solo releases to merit an individual article per WP:MUSICBIO, but a paragraph could be judiciously added to The Cold Crush Brothers discussing noteworthy current activities of all living members. Although the Cold Crush Brothers article has its own problems with sourcing and tone, quality sources exist including an entry in The Anthology of Rap by Yale University Press. --Animalparty!

 * Delete As being wildly promotional in nature. I came very close to deleting it under WP:CSD. Even if it is determined that this individual is notable, WP:TNT would apply. Vanamonde (talk) 04:46, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
