A lot of effort seems to have gone into making this article. Many, many attempts have been made to create this, or similar, articles, and none have ever met WP:MUSICIAN, resulting in their contributor, who has characteristic editing patterns, being blocked many times under many different account names. See User:Prince-au-Léogâne, User:FloridaFinest, and the edit histories of J-Pimp, Joél Filsaime, and many more for background. Filter 738's logs are also a useful source of information on this.

Alas, I still can't see anything that meets the WP:MUSICIAN criteria: spot checking suggests that references are either not about the article subject (for example, the Haiti earthquake references), or written by the article's subject, or directory listings or items on self-publishing platforms, or links to dead content, or other sources that are do not seem to meet the WP:RS criteria. A case in point: the "news story" that is hosted on a wordpress.com site. Note also the claimed Billboard nomination for top independent album, which cites two references, neither of which seem to support it per WP:V; my attempts to check this claim independently came up with nothing.

Also see hu:J-Pimp, which seems to be essentially the same content. as well as https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20080352, and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J-Pimp. -- The Anome (talk) 14:43, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable for stand alone article. Trivial and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 17:10, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
