 * Weak keep. I found plenty of brief mentions, and the following appear to indicate significant coverage, the first appearing to be a chapter/section dedicated to him, although I can't see the detail via Google Books: It's Not About a Salary: Rap, Race and Resistance in Los Angeles - Brian Cross, Los Angeles Times, Skateboarding, Space and the City (the latter mainly for its pointer to an article in People Weekly). If anyone could actually see the contents of these article it would be a great help. --Michig (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
