Why is a generation of rappers dying young?

Many young rappers have died in the past few years. Mac Miller died in 2018 aged 26 of a cocaine-fentanyl overdose, Lil Peep (pictured above) died at 21 in 2017 of accidental fentanyl and Xanax overdose. Juice WRLD died late last year after a drug-induced seizure. XXXTentacion was killed in 2018 aged 20 in a robbery. In March 2019, Nipsey Hussle was shot dead outside his Los Angeles clothing store. The Guardian asks what can be done to stop this.
