The result was delete. Despite the inclusion of a source verifying the existence of Suriname (important), this rapper fails GNG. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:58, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BLP article, which is a year old, with no refs, with little in way of coverage outside social media. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:BIO. scope_creep (talk) 22:39, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Every rapper who exists is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article. This makes no claims that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC at all, and cites no evidence of reliable source coverage about him in media — the only "footnote" present in the article at all is the results of a general Google search which confirms the existence of Suriname (which nobody questioned, and is completely beside the point), and the only other links shown are his own self-published content on social networking platforms. At the time of creation, there was one other source present in the article — but it was a WordPress blog, not a reliable source, and the text it was actually supporting has been stripped as blatantly advertorial.
