Maybe not for cancer or heart disease because those are for jazz & folk or blues, respectively, where people have less lucrative but long careers & the longer we live the greater chance of getting cancer or heart issues
The homicide number for rap & hip-hop are frightening.
Nearly as much so are the "accidental" deaths for punk & metal.
