Several rappers are quitting drugs in 2018.
In 2017, the use of drugs in hip hop culture hit an all time high. Xanax, Lean, Percocets, Cocaine and other drugs became normalized through the music and ultimately, influencing many young listeners. Now, hip hop isn't the sole factor in the increased use of opiates and other drugs but it did play a factor.
Lil Peep's untimely passing in November served as a wake-up call of sorts. Peep, who was only 21 at the time of his death, fell victim to the Fentanyl epidemic that's been destroying young lives throughout North America. The dangers of pharmaceuticals became much more evident since then and many people, including rappers, have pledged to go sober.
Past Peep's death, the overall affects that pills and powder has on one system deteriorates over time. People who've been sipping lean for years decided to drop the cup in 2017. Others who've used other pills are recognizing the long-term effects.
We've came up with a list of nine rappers who've said they're going into 2018 drug-free.
