Trying to help, I raise points as I observe, and you can reply just below each bullet:
Something needs to be done about the paragraph about his father's alleged murder. It needs to be factual, and twitter and others can just be dropped, better two good sources.
In the Musical sction, please - for the moment - drop everything that has no source, - you can comment out until you find one by <!-- at the beginning and --> at the end.
Avoid terms of personal narration such as "revealed". This "where he hoped to achieve his dream of being among the world's greatest musicians. It took a struggle before he finally met" is just not encyclopedic, could be dropped.
Avoid too much detail even if you have a source.
The recordings and nominations need a ref.
For any ref, provide minimum title and publisher (or website), if available also author, url, date, language if not English, accessdate (if not book). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:00, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I gave it a round of copyediting, with detailed edit summaries. Please add references for the open lines, the first and the last. Do you have a review, or a source describing his music and/or style? The hidden link to the other name of 2Baba is too much of a mystery, also we don't link the same thing twice. If the other name needs to be mentioned, try a different way. Quite generally: no need to describe linked organizations. If they have an article they are notable. - Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I looked at the sources, dropped a blog supporting something we have 3 good sources for, dropped another which doesn't support a vague promotional sentence, formatted a bit. Please have some of the later ones sooner. Do we have any complete list of his recordings? Yesterday's question still open: how can we - sourced! describe his music? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
