Non-notable rapper, sources don't come even close to meeting WP:GNG, and a search finds nothing better. With one mixtape under their belt, no chance of meeting WP:MUSICBIO either. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

• Delete Signally fails WP:GNG. Nothing more, as Gorillaz tell us, to say. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Keep: Album review in Pitchfork [1], piece in Hip Hop Canada [2], the Hype [3]. I think he's ok for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 13:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
• Keep: Criteria 1 of WP:MUSICBIO states that an artist meets notability standards if he "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself". Here are some examples of independent coverage on DD Osama by publications that are considered reliable by WP:MUSIC/SOURCE: Pitchfork, XXL, HipHopDx, Rolling Stone.

Keep: I agree with the points mentioned above that show the subject has had multiple reliable sources cover his music. The subject is also still only 16 years old and is already signed to a major record label. He meets Criteria 1 of WP:MUSICBIO and unless he stops making music, he will likely pass Criteria 3 and 5 of WP:MUSICBIO too. Hiphopsavedmylife (talk) 06:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
