Fails WP:NMUSIC with no chart activity, discography, or notable label work, while any coverage is only about his death. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 23:06, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: Coverage of the murder, trial and suspect are what I find. Nothing about the musician while he was alive, other than an article about who he was dating. None of these things contribute to musical notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 00:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: This article seems more interested in the musician's death than their actual career. There's no mention of chart success, albums, or major label involvement. It might be better placed elsewhere. Waqar💬 17:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
• Delete - We've seen this many times. The murder of a rapper gets some news coverage as a crime, but that does not make the rapper notable unless the coverage satisfies WP:VICTIM, and that is not happening here. Meanwhile, the music he made when alive received no coverage so he does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN either. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete. It seems that only the murder of Hypo received significant coverage. So per WP:SUSTAINED reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event (his death). Tau Corvi (talk) 01:20, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
