Fails
WP:BASIC,
WP:ANYBIO and
WP:MUSICBIO. No awards or charted songs. The sources cited are blogs and record lists, or make trivial mention of him. I was unable to locate any biographical information in a reliable secondary source, and newspaper reports of his criminal behavior do not support notability as a musician.

Delete: Agree w/ nom. Sole source of notability seems to be that he made headlines like "rapper gets in police chase." I'm not finding anything about his actual music except sales sites and other expected fluff.

Delete - I acknowledge the previous voter's stance on criminal notoriety, but I lean toward
WP:BLP1E, which states that a person is not notable "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" and "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual." This rapper was only in the news for one arrest (though it was a big one). Meanwhile his music has been largely ignored by the media, and most of the article's current music-related sources have him listed very briefly as a guest in someone else's work. His own music has not achieved
significant and reliable coverage, and the media coverage he really has achieved is about one time he got caught for acting stupid. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Delete. The reliable sources here are covering him in the context of a criminal incident, not in the context of anything related to music, so he doesn't pass
WP:NMUSIC — and the criminal incident just makes him a
WP:BLP1E, not a topic of enduring encyclopedic interest who would pass the
ten year test.
