Juice Wrld
Jarad Anthony Higgins (December 2, 1998 – December 8, 2019), known professionally as Juice Wrld (pronounced "juice world"; stylized as Juice WRLD), was an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. His song "Lucid Dreams" has been played on the music streaming platform Spotify over one billion times and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. "Lucid Dreams", along with his earlier hit single "All Girls Are the Same", helped him secure a recording contract with Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions and Interscope Records. He derived his stage name from late rapper Tupac Shakur and his part in the film Juice and that it represents taking over the world.[1]

"All Girls Are the Same" and "Lucid Dreams" were two of five singles included on Higgins' debut studio album Goodbye & Good Riddance (2018), which went on to become certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album enjoyed positive critical reception, and contained three other singles: "Lean wit Me", "Wasted", and "Armed and Dangerous", all of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. After collaborating with Future on the mixtape Wrld on Drugs (2018), Higgins released his second studio album Death Race for Love (2019), which reached number one on the Billboard 200. It contains the singles "Robbery" and "Hear Me Calling".
Higgins died eight months later following a drug-related seizure at Chicago's Midway International Airport. His death prompted an outpouring of grief across social media and from the music industry. His first posthumous album, Legends Never Die (2020), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album was the most successful posthumous chart debut in over 20 years and matched a record for the most top-ten song entries on the Hot 100 at one time. The album's fourth of six singles, "Come & Go" with Marshmello, became Higgins' second song to reach number two on the Billboard Hot 100 after "Lucid Dreams".
Early life
Jarad Anthony Higgins was born on December 2, 1998, in Chicago, Illinois.[2] He grew up in the South Suburbs spending his childhood in Calumet Park and later moved to Homewood,[3] where he attended Homewood-Flossmoor High School and graduated in 2017.[4] His parents divorced when he was three years old,[5] and his father left, leaving his mother to raise him as a single mother along with one older brother.[6] Higgins' mother was very religious and conservative, and did not let him listen to hip hop. He was allowed to listen to rock and pop music, however, and he found this on video games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Guitar Hero, which introduced him to artists like Billy Idol, Blink-182, Black Sabbath, Fall Out Boy, Megadeth and Panic! at the Disco.[7][1]
Higgins was a heavy drug user during his childhood and teens. He began drinking lean in sixth grade and using percocets and xanax in 2013. Higgins also smoked cigarettes briefly before quitting in his last year of high school because of health issues.[8]
He learned to play the piano at four years old, having been inspired by his mother, Carmella Wallace, who later began paying for lessons. He then took up the guitar and drums. Higgins also played trumpet for band class.[8] In his sophomore year of high school, he began posting songs to his SoundCloud which he recorded on his smartphone.[9] Around this time, Higgins began to take rapping more seriously.[10][11]
Career
Early career
Higgins began to develop as an artist in his first year of high school. His first track, "Forever", was released on SoundCloud in 2015 under the name JuicetheKidd. Higgins recorded most of his first tracks on a cellphone, uploading them to SoundCloud in his sophomore year.[9] He changed his name from JuicetheKidd, a name inspired by his affection for rapper Tupac Shakur and his part in the film Juice, to Juice Wrld because it "represents taking over the world".[1]
His first track produced by his main producer Nick Mira, "Too Much Cash", was released in 2017.[12] While releasing projects and songs on SoundCloud, Higgins worked in a factory but was dissatisfied with the job; he was fired within two weeks.[13] After joining the internet collective Internet Money, Higgins released his debut full-length EP, 9 9 9, on June 15, 2017, with the song "Lucid Dreams" breaking out and growing his following.[14][11]
In mid-2017, he began to receive attention from artists such as Waka Flocka Flame and Southside, and fellow Chicago artists G Herbo and Lil Bibby. He signed subsequently with Lil Bibby's co-owned record label, Grade A Productions.[15][16]
2017–2018: Goodbye & Good Riddance
In December 2017, Higgins released the three-song EP Nothings Different. Many hip-hop blogs such as Lyrical Lemonade featured it,[17] which helped Higgins's track "All Girls Are the Same" gain popularity. In February 2018, a music video directed by Cole Bennett was released.[14] Following the video's release, Interscope Records signed Higgins for $3 million[18] and a remix featuring Lil Yachty was previewed.[19] "All Girls Are the Same" was critically praised, receiving a Best New Music designation from Pitchfork.[20] It was released as a single in April. "All Girls Are the Same" and "Lucid Dreams" were Higgins's first entries on a Billboard chart, debuting at number 92 and 74 respectively on the Hot 100 chart.[21][22]
On May 4, 2018, "Lucid Dreams" was released officially as a single and given a video.[23] It peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100[24] and quickly became one of the most streamed songs of 2018;[9] it remains his most-streamed song, reaching over one billion streams on Spotify by January 2020.[16] "Lucid Dreams" was followed by "Lean Wit Me" on May 22, which peaked at number 68 on the Hot 100;[25] Higgins' debut full-length Goodbye & Good Riddance, which included his three previous singles, was released the following day.[26] On June 19, 2018, he released a two-song EP, Too Soon.. in remembrance of, and dedicated to, deceased rappers Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. Lil Peep died of an overdose in 2017 and XXXTentacion was shot and killed during a robbery attempt a day earlier.[27] The song "Legends" from the EP debuted at number 65.
"Wasted" featuring Lil Uzi Vert was released on July 10, 2018; it was Higgins' first single featuring a collaboration and the only song on Goodbye & Good Riddance with a featured guest. It debuted at number 68 and peaked 67 next week on the Billboard Hot 100.[28] The following day, Higgins announced he was working on his next album.[29] Following a series of leaks, Higgins' producer Danny Wolf released the official version of "Motions" on SoundCloud on July 25.[30] On July 20, 2018, Higgins announced his first tour, WRLD Domination, with additional acts YBN Cordae and Lil Mosey.[31]
2018–2019: Wrld on Drugs and Death Race for Love
Travis Scott's song "No Bystanders", from his third studio album, Astroworld, featured Higgins and Sheck Wes. The song peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.[32][33][34] Higgins made his late night television debut performing the song "Lucid Dreams" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 8, 2018.[35] On October 15, 2018, the music video for the song "Armed and Dangerous" was released[36] followed by the lead single, "Fine China", from the collaborative mixtape, Wrld on Drugs with Future.[37] Epic Records released the mixtape on October 19, 2018.[38] He also contributed to the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in December 2018, with a song titled "Hide" featuring American singer Seezyn.[39]
In December 2018, Ski Mask the Slump God confirmed that he would release a joint mixtape with Higgins called Evil Twins in 2019.[40] The pair also announced a 2019 tour featuring 30 concerts across North America.[41] Higgins' second studio album, Death Race for Love, was released on March 8, 2019,[42] preceded by the singles "Robbery" and "Hear Me Calling".[43][44] The album topped the Billboard 200 chart. He then embarked on The Nicki Wrld Tour, alongside Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj.[45] Higgins released the music video for the song "Fast" from the album.[46] Later that year, he released other singles: "All Night" with RM and Suga of BTS;[47] "Hate Me" with Ellie Goulding;[48] "Run";[49] "Graduation" with Benny Blanco;[50] and "Bandit" with NBA YoungBoy, the last song to be released while he was alive. It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.[51][52]
Posthumous releases
Higgins' first posthumous appearance was on Eminem's eleventh studio album Music to Be Murdered By on the track "Godzilla", released on January 17, 2020.[53][54] "Godzilla" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100[55] and number one on the UK Singles Chart.[56]
On January 22, an announcement was posted on Higgins' Instagram account by members of his family and the team at Grade A Productions which thanked fans for their adoration for Higgins and confirmed their intention to release music that he was working on at the time of his death:[57]
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every one of you for your undivided adoration and love for Juice. You guys meant the entire world to Juice and by listening to his music, watching his videos and sharing your stories about him, you are keeping his memory alive forever.

There will be a public tribute in Chicago, details will be shared soon. Love Juice's Family and the team at Grade A.
Higgins was included on the title track of G Herbo's fourth studio album PTSD, released on February 28.[58] The track features vocals by Lil Uzi Vert and Chance the Rapper.[58] "PTSD" marked the first time that Higgins and Lil Uzi Vert had collaborated on a song since "Wasted". On March 13, a remix of the single "Suicidal", from YNW Melly's debut studio album Melly vs. Melvin, featuring vocals from Higgins, was released. The remix included a different verse and outro Higgins had recorded. The song reappeared on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 20 following the release of the remix.[59] The single "No Me Ame", a multilingual collaboration among Higgins, Jamaican record producer Rvssian and Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA, was released on April 17. A computer-generated image of Higgins as an angel appears in the background of its music video.[60][61]
On April 23, Higgins' estate announced on his Instagram account that his first posthumous single, "Righteous", would be released later that night.[62] Released at midnight on April 24, an accompanying music video with footage of Higgins was uploaded to his YouTube channel.[63] Higgins had recorded the song at his home studio in Los Angeles.[62] On May 4, Higgins' girlfriend, Ally Lotti, announced the title of his upcoming third album and first posthumous album was The Outsiders.[64] On May 29, the song "Tell Me U Luv Me" featuring Trippie Redd was released alongside a music video directed by Cole Bennett.[65] "Go", Higgins' collaboration with Australian rapper, The Kid Laroi (whom Higgins mentored), was released on June 12.[66]
Higgins' estate publicly announced the title of the late rapper's first posthumous album had been changed to Legends Never Die on July 6.[67] On the same day, Higgins' estate also released "Life's a Mess" featuring Halsey[68] and "Come & Go" a few days later on July 9 featuring Marshmello.[69] The album was released on July 10, with 21 songs and four singles that Higgins' estate claims "best represents the music Juice was in the process of creating".[70] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Five of its songs reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending July 25: "Come & Go", "Wishing Well", "Conversations", "Life's a Mess", and "Hate the Other Side" (a collaboration with Polo G and The Kid Laroi), which reached number two, five, seven, nine, and ten, respectively.[71] Higgins is the third artist to accomplish this feat; the other artists were the Beatles and Drake.[72] "Life's a Mess" notably jumped from number 74 to number nine that week.[71] "Wishing Well", which had been critically lauded following the album's release,[73][74] was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio as the album's fifth single on July 28.[75] At midnight on August 6, "Smile" with The Weeknd was released as a single.[76] "Smile" had previously been leaked on YouTube and SoundCloud with the title "Sad" over a year before, though with an open verse in place of The Weeknd's.[77] On October 23, Lil Bibby confirmed that a second posthumous album is in the works.[78] On December 2, which would have been Higgins' 22nd birthday, Benny Blanco released a collaborative single titled "Real Shit".[79] Six days later, on December 8, the anniversary of his death, "Reminds Me of You" with The Kid Laroi was released.[80] In 2020, Higgins was streamed on Spotify over 5.9 billion times, making him the fourth most streamed artist in the world.[81]
In 2021, Higgins' final music video was released by Cole Bennett. The song, "Bad Boy", featured Young Thug and debuted at number 22 on the Hot 100.
Artistry
Musical style
Higgins said his musical influences were genre-wide from rock to rap music, and that his biggest influences were rappers Travis Scott,[82] Chief Keef,[5] Kanye West[83][84] and British rock singer Billy Idol.[85][86] Higgins was among the ranks of openly vulnerable artists born from the emo rap scene inspired by West's influential fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008).[87] Billboard writer Michael Saponara claimed, "If West and his sparse 808s were a tree, it would have grown another branch with the blossoming art displayed by fellow Chicago native Juice WRLD in 2018."[87] During an interview with All Def Music, Higgins said, "I was singing 'Street Lights' like I had shit to be sad about. Kanye is a time traveler. That nigga went to damn near 2015 and came back with some sauce."[87] His other influences included: Wu-Tang Clan, Quietdrive, Fall Out Boy, Black Sabbath, The Starting Line, The Cranberries, The City Drive, 2Pac, Eminem, Kid Cudi and Escape the Fate.[88][89][90]
Higgins' music has been branded as "emo" and "rock" leaning, "genre-bending"[84][5] with music focusing on "every broken heart, every wounded feeling".[95] More specifically, he has been labeled as a hip hop,[96] trap,[97] emo rap,[98] and SoundCloud rap artist.[99] With a penchant for short, hook-heavy songs, Higgins seemed a leading figure for the current era of hip-hop. In 2018, the streaming platform Spotify named "emo rap" its fastest growing genre. Higgins achieved arguably the most mainstream success of any artist in the sub-genre. This was boosted by his collaboration with Panic! At the Disco frontman Brendon Urie.[100] Higgins himself considered the emo label to be both negative and positive. He felt that music sometimes has to be a bit dark to reflect his belief that the world is not really a light or a happy place.[101]
Higgins said that "Lucid Dreams" was the only track from Goodbye & Good Riddance that he wrote, while the rest was done impromptu. Rather than write down his rhymes, Higgins crafted whole songs in a few minutes by way of off-the-cuff rhyming.[100] Most of the time, his songwriting process involved freestyling lyrics instead of writing them down. When he did write a song, it usually began with hearing a beat and instantaneously conceiving an idea.[101] Higgins sometimes found himself alone with an idea for a song and afraid that he would be unable to remember it hours later after arriving at the studio. For this reason, he sometimes took a voice memo or simply wrote the whole song.[101]
Lyrical themes
Higgins saw the value in his position as one of very few contemporary SoundCloud artists who could compose soul-bearing ballads and odes but remain comfortable freestyle rapping over classic hip hop beats.[100] Rather than eschewing it, his freestyles emphasize wordplay and feel indebted to the art form's tradition.[100] When asked for his opinion on why freestyles are no longer considered the rite of passage in hip hop culture as they once were he replied, "Stuff is just changing, that's all. We're moving into a new era of music. I feel like it's not necessarily a good thing to forget where shit started, but shit is changing."[100] Though his songs do not always feature very technical lyricism, intricate flows or tongue-twisting wordplay, Higgins delivered inventive flows and memorable bars during his freestyles.[100]
His most successful singles express melodic, emo-inspired compositions that exhibit his songwriting skill.[100] His songs harbor melodic flows to complement their melancholic subjects.[100] Higgins claimed he talked about things others are thinking but are afraid to speak about, such as being vulnerable and hurt.[101] Having built a following through emo rap, Higgins offered lyrics that touch on heartbreak and fragmented feelings.[101] Though not entirely groundbreaking, his musical approach provided a sense of familiarity that heartbroken adolescents of the current generation could gravitate towards.[101] Higgins maintained that he only wrote from personal experience, and found strength in his pain and vulnerability.[101] While the lyrical content of his songs often centered on heartache and bitterness, there are occasionally more boastful lines and creative references.[100]
Personal life
Higgins had a history of drug abuse that began at an early age, and he spoke openly about his experiences.[9][2] His mother, Carmella Wallace, claimed that he was also dealing with anxiety and depression on top of his battle with drug addiction.[102]
He was living in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Ally Lotti,[64] at the time of his death.[5][9] The pair revealed that they were dating via Instagram in November 2018.[103]
Death
On December 8, 2019, Higgins was aboard a private Gulfstream jet flying from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles to Midway International Airport in Chicago. Law enforcement officers were waiting for the jet to arrive, having been notified by federal agents, while the flight was en route, that they suspected there were guns and drugs on the plane.[104] Law enforcement officials later revealed they found three handguns and 70 lb (32 kg) of marijuana on the aircraft.[105] They also said several members of Higgins' management team aboard the flight told them that Higgins had taken "several unknown pills",[105] including allegedly swallowing multiple Percocet pills to hide them while police were on board the plane searching the luggage.[106]
Higgins then began convulsing and seizing, after which two doses of the emergency medication Narcan were administered as an opioid overdose was suspected.[107] Higgins was transported to the nearby Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.[108][109]
Higgins' funeral was held on December 13, 2019, at the Holy Temple Cathedral Church of God in Christ in Harvey, Illinois.[110] Friends and family were in attendance, including collaborators Ski Mask the Slump God and Young Thug.[111]
On January 22, 2020, the Cook County Medical Examiner stated that Higgins died as a result of toxic levels of oxycodone and codeine present in his system.[112]
Reaction
Fellow artist Boosie Badazz suggested that the pilot of the plane was ultimately responsible for Higgins' death, referring to him as a snitch.[113][114][115][116] The pilot contacted authorities when he saw people carrying guns on the plane that he had not been made aware of.[117] Harry Dean, 27, of Chicago and Christopher Long, 36, of California were both arrested on gun charges, released immediately thereafter and given a court date for early the following year. The rapper had been under suspicion by the Federal authorities as a month earlier an incident occurred before he departed for Australia which prompted a search of his plane.[118] Badazz gave an interview threatening violence upon the pilot, before later in the interview calming down and reflecting on the dangers of young artists suddenly being overwhelmed with money.[119]
Rapper Ski Mask the Slump God, his close friend who had collaborated with Higgins on the hit song "Nuketown", said on Twitter "They keep taking my brothers from me", referring also to best friend and longtime collaborator XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed in June 2018. Lil Yachty, who remixed Higgins' song "All Girls Are the Same" mourned his death along with Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, The Weeknd and others.[120]
Higgins' mother, Carmella Wallace, expressed her hope that her son's legacy would help others in their battle with addictions saying, "Addiction knows no boundaries, and its impact goes beyond the person fighting it. We hope the conversations he started in his music and his legacy will help others win their battles, as that is what he wanted more than anything. We know that Jarad's legacy of love, joy and emotional honesty will live on."[121] Wallace later established the Live Free 999 Fund in honor of Higgins and the battle he fought against addiction, anxiety and depression.[102] The fund's primary goal is to support programs that target young, underserved populations. With a focus on addiction, anxiety and depression, the organization hopes to normalize the conversation about the mental health challenges that Higgins faced, and provide an avenue for people to process those challenges in a healthy way.[102] Higgins' production team and record label have committed to supporting the organization.[102]
In his song, "Legends"—which was dedicated to XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed in mid-2018 at age 20, and Lil Peep, who overdosed in late 2017 at age 21—Higgins raps "What's the 27 Club? / We ain't making it past 21."[122] Fans and media outlets commented that he had predicted his own death, as he had died only days after his 21st birthday.[123] He also died exactly 39 years after Beatles singer John Lennon, whom Higgins often mentioned in songs.[124]
