You Hear Me?
Only one source; not a reliable site. Like it says, it's an underground album, so it's obviously not notable. It's probably just a mixtape, or something like that, and those who are familiar with the genre of hip-hop, usually wikipedia deletes mixtapes. A mixtape IS an underground album.

 * Comment Why did you remove the PROD template? There has not been a challenge to it, thus this AfD is completely unnecessary.  --InDeBiz1 (talk) 05:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sometimes someone feels an article should be deleted, but thinks a discussion is appropriate. That's a perfectly valid reason to remove a prod. --UsaSatsui (talk) 18:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, fails WP:SONG. --UsaSatsui (talk) 18:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There's a professional review at Allmusic (how is allmusic not a reliable site when it's listed at WP:MUSIC as a source for information?); the review indicates this was released on Asylum Records. From what I gather by reading the review, this is more of a compilation album of previously released underground recordings, rather than someone putting out a mixtape. However, I'd like to see at least one more quality source before removing the "weak" qualifier from my keep !vote.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  20:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Because AMG lists everything, it's a perfectly valid source for information, but an AMG entry isn't evidence of notability; tiny guy-in-a-shed self-published releases still get AMG entries. – iride  scent  17:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They get entries but not reviews. My understanding is that the reviews at AMG are professional. Is that wrong?-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  18:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As I understand it the reviews are professional, but there's no guidelines as to what warrants a review, so - while the reviews are perfectly valid as a source about the subject - they don't demonstrate notability of the subject; if one of the reviewers happens to like something, they may write a full-length review of it even if it makes no impact commercially. It's the same reason we accept NME reviews as a source but not an indicator of notability. All that said, I am not particularly familiar with exactly how AMG operates, and I'm willing to be corrected. – iride  scent  18:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up for me. Just goes to reinforce my feeling that I'd like to see a bit more before going to a full keep.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  19:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete & redirect to main Hurricane Chris (rapper) article, which can describe this mixtape using the one given AllMusic.com source. Again, All Music Guide is a well-respected site among the WP editing community; how is it not reliable? --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:14, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
