OK--new enough, long enough, no plagiarism that I saw, sources seem to be represented fairly. The only problem I have is with the last sentence: "he Party is considered by many to have been the first album to win Shauf widespread recognition". "Considered by many" is already pretty weak, and the second reference, the Grammy link, goes nowhere, nor do I find any hit on the Grammy website for him. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that needs to be checked, and the phrasing adjusted a. for non-weaselishness and b. depending on whether there is a Grammy article.

- @Drmies: Thank you for the review, and for bringing these issues to my attention! I fixed the Grammy website link (not sure what happened before) and made the wording more objective/neutral. Does that look better to you? Noahfgodard (talk) 16:37, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well done. Let's go--with the first hook. Hope you get lots of hits. Drmies (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
