Article extract from XXL

My magazine I purchased of my choice was 'XXL', I chose this because it included RnB celebrities and this type of music interests me.

An article that most interested me was a short summary about 'Don Trip'. As I have neveer heard of him before, this was a new and exciting experience for me.

Don Trip is currently a rapper who raps about his life. He expresses his pain through his lyrics and this was one of the things that inspired me. He made a video recently for his song 'Letter to my Son'. This rap expressed his love for his son and how the mother of his son is keeping them apart. One of his quotes that got me intrigued to read more was 'I fell in love with how fast the money was comin', but I never loved it'. This shows that the majority of the celebrities that are currently out there have so much money, but aren't happy with this. This explains the famous quote 'money can't buy happiness'.
