Subject doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. There are a few album credits, but none of the reliable sources pass the WP:RS criteria (Some don't even mention him, some just have a 1 line comment, failing WP:SIGCOV). A search yields no sources that would void this issue. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 21:46, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Excirial - I relayed similar concerns to the author when I reviewed it and made some suggestions. I liked the piece and almost moved it to article space, then I changed my mind because I have issues with the background references. Beyond the links (only the allmusic.com link has any value), my main concern was the lack of references for the early life section, and I believe the author was still working on that when Cyan moved it into an article space (maybe the author was still re-vamping?). The subject is up-and-coming obviously, but he has worked on projects with significantly high-volume rap artists (Clipse, Rick Ross, Tech N9ne, young Jezzy). It's hard to tell what the sales/accolades may have been on those projects and whether it fits notability, but as far as rap music articles are concerned, I say it's a heck of a lot better and more substantial than some I've come across. Rap music producers, especially at his level are a special breed and typically go under the radar. But, you're the best reviewer on the rock, so I'm with you either way because I'm sure you'll make the best judgement for the community overall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Txcrossbow (talk • contribs)
