I based it on the fact that he has no buzz. That Kairi Chanel project was an album and when it flopped they said it was just a mixtape to create the groundwork for his real album... FOH. Streams are not sales if that's the case then going by that logic lets go back to the 90s and 00s when CD players were the new way to listen to music then by just playing the album that should count as a "stream" which would equal one extra record sale... Yes, that doesn't make sense does it. The record industry is using statistical tricks to dupe you into the perception that these artists are more popular than they actually are.
Kairi Chanel did 13K and it was a mixtape you can stream or play on mixtape sites like DatPiff. I'd say he's gotten more recognition since then so I'll go with 20-30K. His next project Paranoia will be a 10 track mixtape though.
People physically buying the album or mixtape whether digitally or in the store is an actual sale.
That streaming equalling a sale logic doesn't translate to any other industry. It's either a human went out of their way to buy and support an album or they didn't. A thriving industry would never try to trick their consumers with "alternative facts".

If you wanna do numbers you gotta drop a mixtape called "Im from the suburbs, I went to college and I understand women"

What did I say that was wrong -- that my opinion differs to yours, I didn't say I hated the guy or wish him unjust I just think he hasn't found his sound yet and his buzz is non-existent. He has no mainstream singles (not just decent songs) but something groundbreaking for his second album. I personally think he's following in this generation and not trying to lead.

He has Nas and the old heads from NY giving him cosigns, all they need to do is post his album on their IG page when it comes out and that gets him thousands of sales from an audience that feels deprived of the kind of rap music Dave East makes.
He better not release his album after Nas though, then his sales will be bad.

w/ a big lead single he i could see him getting some buzz. i predict him running to a future or uzi for a feature. i wasnt sold at for the longest but after his last project i am impressed. i like the kid.

he hasnt put out any mainstream singles but to say his buzz is "non-existent" is hating shyt dude...that "2k-5k" statement is hating shyt...saying that he's gonna go double wood is hating shyt...how can you make an assessment on an artist that you know nothing about?...just dont say shyt.
i only see this type of irrational ass hate from disgruntled ass rappers...lemme guess...you rap and you feel like you can do better? lol

He dresses like an average cat going to the Mall. I think rappers stopped being fashionable (in a cool and manly macho way
) not like today where every artist looks like they're inspired by some burlesque strippers.
We went from this...
WTF happened?
I don't know what I was even rambling about so make of that as you will

the vast majority of his ig followers = thirsty females who could give a fukk about his music, they just think he's attractive theyre not checking for his music because he doesnt make music for them anyways
he gets posted on shaderoom/balleralert all the time thats how he grew his ig following
if I had to judge his actual MUSICAL fanbase he definitely has buzz in the tristate but he has yet to capitalize with a hit and buzz comes and goes so if he doesnt do something within the next year or so he might as well just secure that modeling career and hang the music shyt up before he's vado status, he's pushing 30 anyways
tl;dr - 10k-20k fw

I don't mind a Future/Trap feature, but I hope its not for the first single.
I wish them mainstream game still had real singers. Cause I can see him doing some Meth & Mary type thing.
