Keep - Tha Rift meets notability number 5 as he was signed to Rostrum Records while in the trio FREEWIFI. On the label they released the album "connected" and three singles including "Ego," and "Took off." Rostrum is an independent record label that has housed many notable artists such as Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, Rich the Kid and Mod Sun. He also meets number 1 under notability with references from LA Weekly, WorldStarHipHop, Complex Magazine, and AllHipHop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kayleyrae319 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Source analysis doesn't turn up a GNG pass. As for WP:NMUSICIAN no. 5, that would make FREEWIFI notable, not necessarily Tha Rift. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:50, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
