Thoro In The South
I noticed he release another mixtape, Thoro In The South somewhere in 2014, see
this mention and
bandcamp. I don't know when exactly it was released but it was under USG. Any other source about it will help. --

Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Looks fine for the most part, other than the minor aspect about citations in the lede of the article. I think either ALT could work, with my preference being for ALT1 as I think this is more engaging due to listing his age at the time. I've updated the lede using some sources from the body, happy for this to go forward now with either of the hooks.
