Vicious (rapper)

Non-notable musician. No sources in article other than an AllMusic profile with 2 user ratings total on it and no info. Searching for sources, I tried his rap name, his real name, a combo of both, and all I found were facebook and pinterest pages. Fred Zepelin (talk) 13:51, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - He released one album, for which there are reviews from AllMusic, Billboard, and the Associated Press; the album allegedly made three Billboard charts, and ended up being a top ten reggae album for the year. There is a smallish article in the Daily Press (VA), and a longer one in Wax Poetics. I was expecting more stuff to show up, tbh, but most news "stories" in databases seem to be reproductions of Billboard charts. Caro7200 (talk) 01:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm not as good at Googling as you - I just looked again and I cannot find any of those. Can you link to them? Fred Zepelin (talk) 13:42, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * AllMusic and Wax Poetics are here; the rest were found via academic databases., Caro7200 (talk) 14:54, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
