WP:BLP of a rapper, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no evidence of reliable source coverage in media. Pretty much right across the board, the referencing here is to unacceptable primary sources, like his own Facebook and Instagram and Soundcloud accounts, or WP:BLOGS that cannot carry notability -- and the one thing here that's even marginally closer to an acceptable source than anything else is, Buzzfeed, is to the user-generated "community" section of Buzzfeed and not to content written by any actual employee of Buzzfeed. (Which is, obviously, not to say that Buzzfeed could actually carry a GNG claim all by itself at the best of times, but Buzzfeed Community counts for even less than Buzzfeed proper.) As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which any musician is entitled to have an article just because he exists -- he must be the subject of reliable source coverage in media, which verifies passage of a specific notability criterion, for an article to become earned.
