Creation[edit]

I started this article on 23 September 2013 after seeing the subject appear at #12 on the latest WP:TOPRED report.[1]. He had been appearing on the list for some time.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 06:07, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Associated Acts[edit]

I feel that Roscoe Dash should be an associated act as they have collaborated multiple times and have been working together before August Alsina's success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.151.53.10 (talk) 18:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The anon is right – "hip hop singer" is unreferenced and is probably original research. Adabow (talk) 00:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
