Recently, it seems like we've been talking about rappers that have passed away. Last week, Pop Smoke posthumously released an album. He passed away back in February as he was murdered during a home invasion. Now, the focus is on Juice WRLD, who posthumously released his third album "Legends Never Die" at midnight.

About Juice WRLD

Juice WRLD was born on December 2, 1998, with the name Jarad Anthony Higgins in Chicago, Illinois.

After his parents divorced when he was three years old, his father left the family, which he was raised along with his older brother by his mother.

As his mother took religion seriously, he was prohibited by his mother to listen to hip hop music at a young age.

Juice WRLD was a heavy drug user throughout his life. He started doing lean/codeine in grade six and later moved onto heavy drugs like Xanax and Percocet. He also struggled with depression and anxiety throughout his life.

Juice WRLD died on December 8, 2019, from a drug overdose, six days after he turned 21.

Juice WRLD's music career

Juice WRLD gained prominence with his hit song "Lucid Dreams," which went on to debut at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was given a music video that was shot by Cole Bennett, who runs Lyrical Lemonade, and once the visual for Lucid Dreams was out, it rose to number two on the Hot 100 chart.

The music video for Lucid Dreams is at over 530 million views.

In his music, he mostly raps about drug use and mental health. These are things that Juice WRLD has struggled with for the majority of his life. He has three albums out, one each in the past three years as well as a collaborative mixtape with Future.

Goodbye and Good Riddance

"Goodbye, and Good Riddance" was Juice WRLD's debut album. The album contains 17 tracks, with one of them being his previously mentioned hit song "Lucid Dreams."

Another hit song on "Goodbye and Good Riddance" that was released as a single is "All Girls Are The Same," which reached 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The music video for the song was also shot by Lyrical Lemonade and had 146 million views.

Three other songs were released as singles, which were "Lean wit Me," which reached 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the music video hitting 124 million views. "Wasted" featuring Lil Uzi Vert and "Armed and Dangerous," which reached 44 on Billboard and the music video for that song at 152 million hits.

Legends Never Die

While it was rumored that at the time of Juice WRLD's death that he had 2000 unreleased songs, Legends Never Die could be the last we ever get music from Juice WRLD.
