Released on the late hip-hop star’s 22nd birthday was a new Juice WRLD collaboration with benny blanco. “Real Shit” is the second track from the duo following the release of 2018’s “Roses.” In addition to blanco, Juice WRLD’s latest single features production from Cashmere Cat, Dylan Brady of 100 gecs, Henry Kwapis, and Jack Karaszewski.

In many of the comment sections and discussion threads, fans have celebrated the lyrical content and reminisced on the short career of the late superstar. For the release of the single, blanco shared a tribute to his friend and...
Pop-Punk and Hip-Hop: 2020’s Dynamic Duo
In October, Bad Boy Records’ Machine Gun Kelly topped the Billboard 200 for the first time with his fifth album, Tickets To My Downfall – charting higher with guitar-driven pop-punk songs than he ever had as an emcee. Two weeks later, the top spot on the Hot 100 was secured by “Mood,” a guitar-driven emo-rap song by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, who have since ruled the chart for most of the last two months. But those feel like only the most prominent tipping points of an unlikely alliance between pop-punk and hip-hop — one that has been everywhere in 2020, bubbling up in recent years to finally reach the forefront of popular music. Once upon a time, hip-hop and punk bubbled out of New York City as parallel movements that intersected often, from Debbie Harry rhyming about Fab Five Fre...

The Weeknd Shares Posthumous Juice WRLD Collab
In September 2019, Juice WRLD let Twitter know just how successful a collab between him and the Weeknd would be, writing that the pair would make a “diamond record” together. And today, the Weeknd might have made the late crooner’s vision come to life. Me and The Weeknd would make a diamond record… — . (@JuiceWorlddd) September 11, 2019 After teasing the release on Tuesday, the Canadian heavyweight dropped a new track, which was his first collaboration with the late emo-rap trailblazer. “Smile,” which features a lyric video of a man painting both artists on canvas — showcases Juice jumping into his inner feelings (“I pray that I get it right this time”) over a delicate piano-turned-trap-beat. The Weeknd then tags along for the sec...
Yellowcard Drop Their Lawsuit Against Juice WRLD
Pop-punks Yellowcard, who broke up in 2017, have dismissed their lawsuit against the late emo-rapper Juice WRLD according to the New York Times, for allegedly copying elements of their tune “Holly Wood Died” in his Sting-sampling megahit “Lucid Dreams.” This is probably for the best, though Yellowcard’s lawyer Richard S. Busch pointed out to Pitchfork that “the dismissal was without prejudice, so it can be refilled [sic].” Let’s hope not; United States District Judge Consuelo B. Marshall originally paused the suit after the rapper born Jarad Higgins died of an overdose ruled accidental at age 21. At the time, the band was seeking a $15 million judgment, though they relented after Higgins’ mother Carmela Wallace was appointed as administrator of Juice WRLD’s estate. When reached for comment...

A new single from Juice WRLD‘s posthumous Legends Never Die album has dropped ahead of its scheduled July 10th release date, the hip-hop and electronic hybrid “Come & Go” featuring Marshmello. The lead single from Legends Never Die, “Righteous,” was released in April 2020. Two more singles followed, which are collaborations with Trippie Redd (“Tell Me U Luv Me”) and Halsey (“Life’s a Mess”). “Come & Go,” which was released yesterday, July 8th, features Mello’s future bass-inspired production, highlighted by guitar riffs that blend seamlessly with Juice’s hip-punk style. Marshmello, who teased the single back in 2018 prior to Juice WRLD’s tragic death, took to Twitter to wax poet...
Listen to the Skrillex-Produced Single “Man of the Year” from Juice WRLD’s Posthumous Album
The first posthumous album from the late Chicago hip-hop artist Juice WRLD has arrived. The 21-track LP features previously released singles “Righteous,” “Tell Me U Luv Me” with Trippie Redd, “Life’s a Mess” with Halsey, and “Come & Go,” which was produced by Marshmello. Tucked away in the expansive project is a scintillating track by the name of “Man of the Year,” which was produced by Skrillex. The production is markedly more reminiscent of Skrillex’s time with alt-rock band From First to Last than his own electronic sound, with crunchy guitar riffs that meld seamlessly with Juice WRLD’s unique hip-punk style. Legends Never Die represents Juice WRLD’s third solo studio album. He rel...
