  • Comment: I have just checked your edits, before I accept could you think about the WP:PUFF statements? For example, the statement "He is easily recognized by his hard hitting flows, unique voice and emotional narrative" is a bit too encyclopedic and is 'bigging up' the artist. Once this is done I can happily move to accepting.   Kadzi   (talk) 13:42, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is a really good start; please add a few more sources, there are plenty online that are of higher quality, and contact me on my talk page and I will be happy to accept it straight away. (ie genius is not a reliable source)
    please see Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles
    To clean it up:
    - chang userbox name to real name, 'innanet james' as other names or vice versa
    - change date of birth format
    - please remove the twitter / fb from 'website'   Kadzi   (talk) 20:54, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

James has stated that Lil Wayne's mixtape Da Drought 3, particularly the "Upgrade U" freestyle was the most influential record in molding his career as a rapper.[1] He draws inspiration from the Wu Tang Clan, 50 Cent, Amy Winehouse, and Smokey Robinson, but typically writes what is in his environment. He has stated that he has been composing rap since he was in the third grade.[7] Before finding success within the rap industry, James worked at a DSW and took graphic design classes[7].
