Unlikely Rappers Are Quitting Xanax for 2018

by HHL JT

Xanax was a big deal in Hip Hop in 2017 and contributed to the death of emo rapper Lil Peep.

Not long after Peep's death, we learned that Lil Xan is no longer taking his namesake pill because he's worried about the Fentanyl-laced bars that ended up doing Peep in.

Now two more young rappers, Lil Pump and Smokepurpp, have quit Xans for 2018.

 It's interesting Purpp would take this stance. After all, he recently called Russ a "bitch" for just suggesting that Xans are wack.

There's been a clear anti-drug taking push in rap lately. If Xans are really out, what drug do you think is next to get booted?
