I can't find any reliable source material for this at all. Searches for "cash lewis", "cash lewis" rapper, etc., turn up nothing other than blogs and some self-published material. (Note that Google will automatically recognize "L3wis" as synonymous with "Lewis".) I therefore see no indication of notability. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 14:12, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

I am a little bit confused with the article too. But after research, a lover of hip-hop music (see my user page) and a Wikipedia contributor, I found this appropriate to a Wikipedia Article. I did some research and found that it has 10,000+ hits just of his name. I think it's good (not notable) but passable, when the article has charted one song (but did not received recognition nor coverage) and gaining mainstream recognition with over 350,000 views (I am not saying this marks his notability) just passable.

Certainly it's a common mistake. Indeed, thinking number of Google hits matters toward that is so common that it got written about. It doesn't, though, and there's no space between being notable and being passable as an article subject. (iTunes is not a national chart, by the way, as Apple is not a nation.) What's ultimately required for notability is that the subject have been reasonably extensively noted, by reliable sources not having an interest in doing so. That means more than a name drop or passing mention like the one listed below, it means coverage in some depth. Since article material must be verifiable via reliable sources, if that's not the case, we just don't have enough to write an article from. If he's covered more extensively in the future, the article can always be started at that time, but we always follow that source material coming about, not try to predict its future availability.

• Keep - I understand the situation, but it someway meets WP:MUSICBIO (2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart), it charted on the iTunes' Charts but not received coverage yet. Just please flag this as refimprove and give me 2 months to complete it. Karlhard ^{(talk to me)} 15:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

I was looking in Google and found this: [1], [​http://eotmblog.com/2013/08/eotm-awards-13-winners-announced-eotm-online] I don't know if this is good enough. Will be updating this over time. Thanks Karlhard ^{(talk to me)} 16:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Comment The EOTM awards do not appear to be notable awards. I can't determine what they even are. Their site doesn't even say what "EOTM" stands for! It might be "Entrepreneurs On The Move", but then again that may be another group entirely (a different blog with another logo). Looks suspiciously like a PR site though. — Gwalla | Talk 18:43, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
