Another talented artists gone. People take artists for granted. They shit talk on their art and make them feel like they aren’t enough and then one day, in the blink of an eye, they are gone, and the world realizes it will never be quite as bright without them. RIP Juice

More on Juice WRLD

The track later appeared on his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance, which released in May 2018. Following the album’s release, he dropped a mixtape with Future titled Future & Juice Wrld Present… Wrld on Drugs in October. The release featured collabs with Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Yung Bans, Gunna and Nicki Minaj among others.
In December 2018, Higgins teamed up with Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie and Benny Blanco on “Roses.” The single was off Blanco’s debut album Friends Keep Secrets, which also housed his single with Halsey and Khalid, “Eastside.”
Juice WRLD dropped his last full-length, Death Race For Love in March featuring singles such as “Robbery” and “Hear Me Calling.”
Juice WRLD turned 21 earlier this month on Dec. 2. His last Instagram post was a celebration of this writing, “Yesterday was my actual bday im celebrating all week doe 999 shit.”

In 2018, the rapper released his Too Soon EP featuring “Legends,” a tribute to Lil Peep and XXXTentacion where he says, “What’s the 27 Club? We ain’t making it past 21.”
Ahead of turning 21, the rapper was in Australia for what would become his final shows. He played Spilt Milk Festival’s second weekend in Ballarat Nov. 30, which was his last performance. He also released “Let Me Know (I Wonder Why Freestyle)” on Dec. 7.
Following the run, he took to Instagram to share a clip of him packing to leave Australia.
“@chrislongfilms @ogdonn.999 helping me pack my last night in Australia JUST TURNED THIS WHOLE CONTINENT UPSIDE DOWN but anyway we having fun thank God for the opportunity to travel the world and change it.. be with me through every battle and Ik I’ll win.. AMEN. Great things coming y’all 999 STILL ROCKING POLO DRAWERS HOE”
Our thoughts are with Higgins family and friends at this time.
