Now, according to TMZ, it is believed that Juice WRLD has up to 2,000 unreleased songs in his catalog. Sources also say that ideas are being floated around on what to do with Juice WRLD’s songs. They’re discussing ways to pay tribute to his work that could include a posthumous album or other musical endeavors.  How could someone so young have so many songs in their backlog? Well, according to sources talking to TMZ, “he didn’t do much besides ride his dirt bike and record music”

Last week, 26 of Higgins’ songs were leaked online but were quickly wiped from the internet by his team. A report indicates that the leak was possible due to a hard drive that Juice WRLD liked to use at his studio.
