 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep – Has some degree of notability for the single "Daze" which has charted, and noted in one newspaper source which I added to the article just now. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 05:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I hadn't looked at the other two references when I added the one I found. The comment below is correct—the references do not mention him at all; presumably the sources had been accidentally copied from the Soulja Boy Tell 'Em article. Struck my "keep" recommendation.

 * Delete Ja-Bar's biography is almost entirely unsourced as two of three references provided do not even mention him at all. Only claim for notability seems to be his song "Daze", but I can't see any charts that actually show its peak. Interestingly, there have been articles of songs with higher peak than Daze's peak, but have been deleted and/or redirected. Karppinen (talk) 12:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
