Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. No charted songs or awards, and the usual promos and track listings. I located a number of short bios, though only one was a secondary source:

• One-paragraph in "Hype Magazine"
• Interview in a personal music blog
• Detailed biography in local newspaper
• Interview
• Interview/promo
• Promo Magnolia677 (talk) 10:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete - Note that two of the previous AfDs listed above were for different people with the equally bland name Dave Mac. As for this rapper, he's a close call for notability. As mentioned by the nominator, he has been profiled in some reliable Canadian music magazines, which shows some popular notice, but I agree that they are primarily brief promotional announcements and introductory interviews. If anyone can find something more substantial, it might get him over the hump, but for now it seems too soon for a Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:24, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per doomsdayer520. This article lacks high-quality sources that are secondary and independent. Tikisim (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
