Keep: The article meets criterias 8, and 11 of WP:MUSICBIO. Per the aforementioned criteria, "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria". Since Lil Kem meets two criterias of MUSICBIO, he is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. Also, the sources cited in the article are independent of him. Lastly, the artist's debut music video has more views on YouTube than establish artists like Yung6ix, etc.--Coal Press Nation (talk) 15:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
