Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I wanted to evaluate an article about a rapper from my hometown. I wanted to know more about the artist behind the music. My first impression was, "This is a short article.

Evaluate the article
This article was underdeveloped. That's to be expected because Bankroll Hayden is a relatively new artist from an area in Cali that not as well know as LA or the Bay. One of this article's strengths is that it states Bankrol Hayden's City and State. It also doesn't do what most have done when depicting Rappers from the Central Valley area by saying they're from the Bay Area. The only people who say Modesto is in the Bay are those from out of state or people from the Bay that think everything in Northern California is theirs. Being from Modesto and moving to the Bay, hearing that shit was beyond annoying and probably why Modesto and other cities like Stockton, Fresno, and Sacramento in the area didn't get the shine they deserved. This article would look better by putting some of the interviews that Bankrol Hayden has done in links that readers could access. It could also give more of an origin story. Talk about where in Modesto he grew up. Was it the East, West, South, or North Side? What his family situation was like growing up and more of his upbringing would be a highlight.
