Non notable rapper who satisfies no criterion from WP:MUSICBIO. A before search shows he lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources hence falls short of WP:GNG also. Celestina007 ( talk) 14:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

- At least two of the “solid sources” you dropped here all required subscriptions so I couldn’t read any of them, the other ones are weak just as you said. In one of those “weak sources” dated July 2020 it explains how he never intended to go viral but did go viral after doing a song on Taylor and a few other sources shows his presumed notability is centered on this.
WP:1EVENT &
WP:TOOSOON may apply here as well.

- Requiring a subscription does not disqualify the source in any way whatsoever. That has been the case for years. Four solid sources exist. Meets GNG. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 08:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WG's sources. We're close-ish to WP:BLP1E territory, but a feature profile in NYT plus a few other sources is good enough for me. AleatoryPonderings ( ???) ( !!!) 02:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as there is enough coverage in multiple reliable sources to pass WP:GNG such as the NYT, Houston Chronicle, NPR, and Billboard, imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 00:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
