Delete. WP:BLP of a musician, whose strongest claim to passing WP:NMUSIC is being a "featured" artist on other musicians' recordings (i.e. not a strong claim at all) and with no strong reliable source coverage about him in media. The sourcing here is almost entirely a mixture of primary sources and blogs -- there are just two sources here (Exclaim! and HipHopDX, #11 and #14) that count for anything at all toward getting him over WP:GNG, and both of them are blurbs rather than substantive coverage. No prejudice against recreation if and when he starts garnering a lot more reliable source coverage than this, but right now it's WP:TOOSOON. Bearcat (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
