Non-notable hip-hop musician with no notable breakthroughs into either the mainstream or within his respective genre; no substantial coverage bar one or two mentions in minor magazines years ago – easily fails WP:NOTABILITY. This individual also appears to have died several weeks ago according to social media posts, with zero media coverage following Jkaharper (talk) 12:46, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I find the NPR piece as cited and a roundtable discussion? in Vice: [1], neither of which is substantial. Delete. Oaktree b (talk) 13:40, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sad to see this and have to say, but notability just isn't there despite the tragedy. R.I.P. IrishOsita (talk) 23:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No indication that it meets WP:MUSICBIO. Not enough coverage here. Zeddedm (talk) 02:07, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I found 2 more news articles about arson conviction and have added a section about it, but since it is unrelated to his music career, I would still vote delete. Zeddedm (talk) 02:19, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - He got a nice review from NPR in 2010 (already cited), but his music career received no other notice beyond the usual social media and directory entries. He has minor news coverage as a criminal, but over at WP:PERP there are additional notability requirements that a small-time local thug cannot meet. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as he is not notable as an article and certainly not notable for the crime conviction later. Pikavoom ^Talk 06:26, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
