Thoro In The South

I noticed he release another mixtape, Thoro In The South somewhere in 2014, see this mention and bandcamp. I don't know when exactly it was released but it was under USG. Any other source about it will help. --Muhandes (talk) 12:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Looks fine for the most part, ~~other than the minor aspect about citations in the lede of the article~~. I think either ALT could work, with my preference being for ALT1 as I think this is more engaging due to listing his age at the time. I've updated the lede using some sources from the body, happy for this to go forward now with either of the hooks. Turnagra (talk) 21:58, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
