Born and raised as Jarad A. Higgins, Juice Wrld was an extremely talented American rapper, singer, and songwriter of his contemporary time. While the world often talks about black people and their anger, Juice showed and poured out his sadness, insecurities, anxieties, and depression in his hip-hop music. His candor and pain resonated with the fans, and he achieved popularity within a short span. But in December 2019, at the age of only 21, he passed away leaving his fans shattered.
An Insight To Juice Wrld's Career
Born in Chicago and raised in a very conservative and religious household, Juice didn't have access to hip-hop music during his childhood years. He started developing himself as an artist during his high school days. In the year 2015, his first track Forever got released, and needless to say, it was a massive hit.
In December 2017, his track Nothings Different got featured on several hip-hop blogs including Lyrical Lemonade. And, just two months later, Juice Wrld got featured in a music video directed by Cole Bennett. He was also signed to Interscope Records for a hefty amount of $3 million.
Juice Wrld rose to fame with his song Lucid Dreams. Although this song was initially released on SoundCloud in the year 2017, it reappeared on his debut album, Goodbye & Good Riddance (2018). This single peaked at No.10 on the official UK chart and No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His songs Legends and All Girls Are The Same brought him more success. On August 8, 2018, Juice performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
His Addiction Killed Him Real Early
Juice Wrld has a disturbing childhood due to his parents getting divorced. He used to live with his single mother. He got into drinking and drugs at a very early age.
On December 8, 2019, Juice Wrld got off his private jet and was walking through the Chicago airport when he suddenly went into distress. Although he was conscious, he started bleeding from his mouth and soon transported to a hospital where he succumbed to death. In medical terms, he "died as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity" which means an overdose of powerful painkillers.
Juice Wrld has often talked about old-age distress and mentioned that people like him could not afford a happy and comfortable old age. Maybe he could sense his early demise, and gave his listeners an indication through his lyrics "What's the 27 club? We ain't making it past 21."
His Loss Is Devastating
People whose hearts are heavy with pain and grief could easily connect with Juice's music. His tracks perfectly reflected mourning relationships and personal losses. Although he gained his share of success and fame, he didn't shift from his style of resonating softness, isolation, depression, etc.
He made his fans believe that they are not the only ones going through such issues. He fought with his demons in public so that people who do the same in private could connect with him and feel less alone. His self-loathing lyrics had a strong positive message that things can get better with time and sufferings are not for nothing and that would provide a lot of optimism to his listeners.
Juice Wrld was one of the youngest yet finest rappers in the industry. He stopped living, but his music will live on for years after years. At such a young age, Juice Wrld was so successful that at the time of his death in December 2019, his net worth was estimated to be somewhere between three to four million dollars.
