I can't find any substantial reliable and independent referencing. The first reference is primary to a record of birth, the second about the subject's father and not mentioning the subject at all. The third is an interview (non-independent), and the fourth is a two-line blurb on a site of questionable reliability. I do not see sufficient reference material to sustain this article. A search reveals no better material to use. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 23:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

• I know Skaz One, have done photography and video work for him and have been to many of his performances. I also know a lot of people who listen to his music including me. I have seen his videos and he has a lot of Spotify listeners, which is where I stream my music. I ve seen his following in person as well at his shows and have seen him featured on another major artists CD from the Bay Area. Messy Marv's Thizz City. I remember seeing him for years on different CDs and I'm pretty sure he's worked with people as famous as Berner or Necro. I think he is significant to the music of California and the hip hop scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashleyh551 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 25 May 2017 (UTC) — Ashleyh551 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• I am afraid, {{U|Ashleyh551}}, that what you personally have observed is not relevant, because there is no way for anyone else to verify it. Nor is the number of fans relevant. Wikipedia operates on published reliable sources, and if no one has published anything significant about this person, there will not be an article about him at this time.

• Delete I did a Google search and found no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources of this rapper. There are plenty of the expected passing mentions on social media, blogs, music marketing sites and so on, but nothing of substance. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:02, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, I still have concerns regarding the author being the subject of the article or having a conflict of interest. {{nowrap|RA0808 ^talk_contribs}} 02:18, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
