Druski Burst Into the Celebrity Bubble With His Everyman Sketches The New York Times

These days, prescription drugs seem to be a part of the rapper starter kit. While, for the most part, drug use in hip-hop has never been taboo (meaning you can’t totally blame this on the kiddos), the promotion and use of drugs of the highly addictive nature is at an all-time high.

The Grammy winner — who was born Marshall Mathers — posted a photo of his hand holding a new chip commemorating the achievement. The “Lose Yourself” rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, took to Instagram on Tuesday to give his followers an update on his sobriety, sharing a picture of an Alcoholics Anonymous coin acknowledging he’s been sober for 12 years. In fact, the real challenge might be naming the artists who don’t get high, and in doing so we’ll see a different side of hip-hop, a side that’s always been there but doesn’t get nearly as much attention.

Danny emerged from rehab a month later in a better place.

Additionally, he elaborated that his father was addicted to drugs and did not want to follow the same path. A companion proposal, by Council Member Curtis Gardner, will create a specialized “problem solving court” for individuals experiencing homelessness who have committed low-level offenses such as trespassing. The goal is not to punish them but to get them rappers who are sober the treatment they need to stay off the streets.

Between talking about substance abuse and promoting programs like MusiCares, which provides financial and other assistance for musicians in need, the music industry has made great inroads into erasing the stigma of addiction. In fact, some of today’s biggest advocates for sobriety were music’s biggest partyers; they include Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.
