The wait for Juice WRLD’s final album is almost over. The previously rumored The Party Never Ends album is coming soon via Grade A Productions and Interscope Records. The news broke last night at ComplexCon Las Vegas 2024 during an exclusive listening party which included official Juice WRLD DJ Mike P, and follows the massive release of its lead single “All Girls Are the Same 2 (Insecure)” featuring Nicki Minaj.
The invite-only The Party Never Ends – A Listening Experience hosted by Grade A Productions, Interscope Records, and Fortnite drew an impressive array of talent, music executives, and influencers.
But the song is just the top of the Juice Wrld’s musical vault iceberg. Yesterday (November 16), music executive tied to Juice Wrld previewed what is believed to be the musician’s final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends.
At ComplexCon Las Vegas 2024, special guests were treated to an advance listen of The Party Never Ends. For some time now, the forthcoming project has been teased online. But those who weren’t able to attend the event won’t have to wait long before they can enjoy the body of work.
According to a countdown shared on the late musician’s social media page (viewable here) The Party Never Ends has an official release date. based on the timer, the album is expected to be shared on November 29.
One fan page on X (formerly Twitter) alleges that during the listening party, attendees heard 15 tracks, all of which are rumored to appear on the album.
An upload by the page (viewable here), the account alleged that it could feature guest appearances by The Kid Laroi and Miley Cyrus.
Juice Wrld’s estate hasn’t confirmed any details surrounding The Party Never Ends. So, fans will need to hold a bit longer.
Juice WRLD was a prodigious talent. The rapper scored major hits during his lifetime. His impact on the music world is still being felt even after his death. The rapper’s estate has confirmed that there will be a final posthumous release coming this month. The first single features the Queen of rap herself, Nicki Minaj. Juice WRLD and Nicki may not seem like a combination that makes much sense on paper, but it actually works impressively well on “All Girls Are the Same 2 (Insecure).”
The instrumental is classic Juice WRLD. It’s spacey, bassy, and allows for the rapper’s vocals to weave in and out. Juice WRLD often had an echo effect applied to his vocals that made it seem as though he was projecting from a huge, empty room. And the decision to do so here is reminder of his unique voice. It’s a pretty melodic cut, overall, so it should come as no surprise that Nicki Minaj decides to take a more soft approach on her feature. She doesn’t drop an aggressive sixteen, but rather harmonizes with Juice in a way that compliments both of their voices. “AGATS2 (Insecure)” isn’t a mind-blowing Juice song, but it’s proof that there’s plenty of quality material that fans have yet to hear.

Fans will also have the chance to celebrate Juice’s music in person with the fourth annual (and final) Juice WRLD Day at Chicago’s United Center on November 30, presented by Grade A Productions. The global celebration of life will include an exclusive listening experience, plus special guest performances and other surprises.
The original “All Girls Are the Same (Insecure)” introduced the globe to an artist whose impact would turn out to be nothing short of monumental. The vulnerable 2017 hit — an emo-rap archetype — has since been RIAA-certified 8x Platinum®, racking up over a billion streams on Spotify alone, while inspiring countless artists and fans alike to explore their feelings out in the open.
“All Girls Are the Same 2 (Insecure)” opens with a familiar refrain, “I admit it, another ho got me finished,” but nothing else is the same. Juice is a rock star now, singing with his chest out, voice fraying as he paints the scene: “Bad women, no-good bad women / Hotel rooms in Versace linens / Wake up in the morning screaming for some Advil / Last night, last night was too mad real.”
Echoing Juice’s vulnerability, Nicki sings throughout the song before sharing some bars and a final thought that seems to speak directly to her old friend: “Is there anyway, is there anyway / That you book a different plane and say you’ll stay?”
Juice WRLD made his debut in 2018 with the breakout single “All Girls Are The Same,” which doubled as the lead single from his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance. While its follow-up, “Lucid Dreams,” ultimately became the bigger song, “All Girls…” became a signature song for the Chicago emo rapper, and a staple of fans’ fondest memories of him upon his death in 2019.
The latest posthumous release from Juice revisits that all-important milestone, as Juice reunites with former tourmate Nicki Minaj for “AGATS2 (Insecure),” which is a sequel to his debut song. The two rappers trade verses both rapping and singing in their trademark styles over an airy beat from Louis Bell, best known as the producer for some of Post Malone’s biggest hits, such as “Sunflower,” “Rockstar,” and “Circles.”
Juice and Nicki were previously heard together on “Money,” from Young Thug’s 2023 album Business Is Business, while Nicki paid tribute to Juice during her a Billboard Women In Music Game Changer Award acceptance speech shortly after he passed.
Juice has also posthumously appeared on a handful of tracks in the past year or so, including “Lace It” with Benny Blanco and Eminem, and “Doomsday” with Cordae from Lyrical Lemonade’s All Is Yellow.

Juice WRLD has entered rare territory as a rapper. He dropped two highly successful and acclaimed studio albums during his lifetime. He died at age 21 in 2019, however, leaving behind a ton of unfinished and unreleased material. The Party Never Ends, Juice’s upcoming album, will tip the scale in a very tragic direction. The album will mark Juice WRLD’s third posthumous drop, meaning he put out more music after his death than he did while he was alive. It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also a means of keeping his memory going.
The Party Never Ends will release on November 29. It will be prefaced by the single “Insecure: All the Girls Are the Same 2,” which drops November 15. The song will mark Juice’s first ever collaboration with Young Money legend Nicki Minaj. This album will stand apart from Juice WRLD’s previous posthumous albums, which dropped in 2020 and 2021, respectively. It has had the most time to gestate, given that the rapper’s ex-manager, Peter Jideonwo, has been teasing its existence since the release of Fighting Demons.
Jideonwo took to Instagram in 2022 to confirm that The Party Never Ends will be the best posthumous Juice WRLD release to date. He revealed that there would be less than five features on the album, which includes Minaj. “The Party Never Ends is going to be the best album, not only musically but creatively,” he stated. “We got a big collab on the album cover and also the merch. Everything about it is fire. We’re not just doing some basic music… we’re taking our time to craft a classic you’ll talk about for the next ten years.”
Jideonwo and the rest of Juice WRLD’s team definitely took their time. It makes sense, given that The Party Never Ends is supposed to be the final Juice album ever. Lil Bibby, the founder of Juice’s record label, Grade A Productions, confirmed as much via Instagram. The emphasis on solo material instead of features, and the thematic resonance of the title, certainly makes The Party Never Ends seem as though it will live up to the hype.
Today, Juice WRLD fans are being treated to two highly anticipated tracks: the melodic “Both Ways” and the dark, booming “Cavalier.” Both songs arrive as part of The Pre-Party (Extended) EP, released via Grade A and Interscope Records.
“Both Ways,” produced by Juice’s frequent collaborator Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice, features a low-slung groove and effortlessly catchy melodies. The track comes with a video co-directed by Juice’s friend and collaborator, Trippie Redd, along with DotComNirvan. Juice WRLD delivers smooth verses and warnings, rapping, “If you’re crossing my streets, better look both ways.”
“Cavalier,” produced by 808 Mafia’s Purps and Ian Francis, offers a shadowy mix of moody guitar and skittering drums. Fans may recall footage of Juice recording the song during a 2019 Instagram Live session. Juice showcases his lyrical prowess with raw energy: “They gon’ make me blow my fuse… I beat up the rap game, and I give it a bruise.”
This release follows The Pre-Party EP, dropped on September 9, a date beloved by Juice WRLD’s fans for its symbolism of turning negative into positive.
Today, fans are once again being treated to two long-sought Juice WRLD gems: minimal, melodic “Both Ways” and the darkly booming “Cavalier.” The songs continue an ongoing series, arriving as The Pre-Party (Extended) EP via Grade A and Interscope Records. Additionally, “Both Ways” comes with a video starring and co-directed by Juice friend and collaborator Trippie Redd along with DotComNirvan.
Blessed with a beat from Juice’s right-hand producer Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice (iann dior, The Kid LAROI, Lil Peep), “Both Ways” is low-slung with a subtly infectious groove. Juice is in his zone, casually shifting rhythms and catching melodies, feeling himself and issuing warnings: “If you’re crossing my streets, better look both ways.”
Juice WRLD’s team is preparing to release the late Chicago rapper’s third posthumous album, The Party Never Ends. It’s also supposedly going to be the talented spitter’s final project, so this may very well be a bittersweet moment for his fanbase. It was speculated that it would be out sometime in 2024, but not too long ago, his estate would confirm it. The celebratory tape will land on November 22, so we are just about a month away exactly. To tide listeners over, they released a tandem of songs called The Pre-Party back in early September.
They included “World Tour (Aquafina)” and “Lightyears” with Young Thug. Both were previewed years prior, so it was a nice treat for some of his most loyal supporters. It seems like these singles will most likely be loosies given the title of the EP. However, Juice WRLD’s reps are back with handful of new cuts, labeling it as The Pre-Party (Extended). For this drop, “Cavalier” and “Both Ways” are the ones to see the light of day. Similarly, these tracks focus on similar topics of fame, such as finding it and flexing it. The standout for us the dark and intimidating “Cavalier,” which sees Juice remembers the grind, which included driving a small commuter car known as the Chevrolet Cavalier, which hasn’t been in production for over 15 years. Check out the songs with the links below.
They gon’ make me blow my fuse Got these hatin’-a** b****es and n****s confused I beat up the rap game and I give it a bruise Give ’em black and blues while I count up the blues Got my hand on my tool, pop a couple of blues Then I pour up a pint ’til I take me a snooze
Chicago-based visionary Cole Bennett started out shooting for up-and-coming teens and twenty-something blog favorites, but in the past five years, he has become one of rap’s foremost music video directors, working with top names like Eminem, J. Cole, Lil Durk, and more. He’s even shot for actor Jack Black, delivering a colorful video for Black’s Super Mario Bros. Movie crowd-pleaser, “Peaches.”
“I was a very visual person, but I never knew that I loved music videos,” Bennett said in a 2021 XXL interview. “I always had this idea since I was super young of what it would look like if I made a music video.” For nearly a decade, Bennett has been bringing these ideas to life to the praise of the artists he works with and his growing fan base.
With that being said, we decided to scour Bennett’s Lyrical Lemonade page for his best work. Here are the 10 best Cole Bennett-directed music videos.
Honorable Mention: JID & J. Cole — “Off Deez”
Okay, it’s a pretty basic concept with workmanlike execution, but it might be the best song Bennett’s ever done a video for. JID and J. Cole are left turns for Cole Bennett, if you take in the entirety of his filmography, so it was pretty meaningful that the Dreamville cohorts teamed up with him on this standout from JID’s DiCaprio 2. It’d be nice to see them do it again.
10. Ski Mask The Slump God — “Catch Me Outside”
An early standout from both Bennett and Ski Mask The Slump God, “Catch Me Outside” perfectly illustrates the possibilities of a limited budget when you’ve got unlimited imagination. Awash with eye-popping visual effects, “Catch Me Outside” offers a prime example of Cole’s early style; it’s raw, but flashes of his future brilliance shine throughout. Many of the techniques Bennett used here eventually became hallmarks of his style, and with polish, set off the concepts of his future videos with Cordae and Eminem.
9. Central Cee — “Doja”
As “Doja” is one of Bennett’s more recent videos, its simplicity might seem out of place in a list featuring so many brain-bending, colorful visuals. But it also marks Bennett’s transition from colorful collaborator to kingmaker; Central Cee is a star stateside after working with Bennett, making the most of essentially an indie budget to secure the coveted director’s services and show he belongs on the biggest stage.
8. Jack Harlow — “What’s Poppin”
While the visuals are pretty tame for a Cole Bennett production, Harlow’s “What’s Poppin” video is still representative of the elements that have made Bennett’s videos so eye-catching and amusing. Even the low-key imagery mirrors Jack’s tongue-in-cheek humor, highlighting and elevating it with some juxtaposed elements as bottle service and satin sheets at a late-night diner and a woman “smoking” a french fry like a cigarette. It’s also impossible to discount what the video did for Harlow’s career, taking him from an indie unknown to a potential chart-topper with 170 million views.
7. Drake — “Another Late Night” Feat. Lil Yachty
Say what you want about Drake, but “Another Late Night,” at least visually, has been the height of his last couple of rough years. Drake and Yachty have great chemistry, and despite the relatively straightforward treatment, the video manages to be eye-catching and stand out from the rest of Drake’s admittedly wonky catalog.
6. Lil Durk — “Kanye Krazy”
Bennett’s referential style comes to a head in Durk’s “Kanye Krazy” video. Pulling from infamous clips from the titular auteur’s oeuvre and public outbursts, Durk reimagines the videos for “Runaway,” “Bound 2,” and “I Love It” — specifically, the moments in which Kanye’s mental illness seems to have gotten the better of him, for better or worse. This was just after Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” had put Durk back on the national map, so to speak, so the cheeky visuals helped aid in lending mainstream audiences a better sense of Durk’s personality outside his harrowing drill stories.
5. BabyTron — “100 Bars”
BabyTron, like Central Cee’s “Doja,” is a more recent addition to Bennett’s filmography, albeit one with a much higher concept. It’s executed deliriously well, with a new BabyTron outfit/persona for each of the titular “100 Bars” and seamless transitions between each. It’s a format that Bennett would return to with Eminem’s “Tobey,” but it’s impressive that the Detroit and Chicago natives were able to make this work without the benefit of a huge star (and the accompanying budget). BabyTron, for all the lethargy of his flow on the song, also appears to be having a ball, as does comedian Andy Milonakis in his cameo role.
4. Eminem — “Godzilla”
“Godzilla” is the moment Cole Bennett “made it,” in the sense that he began working with established megastars like Eminem in addition to the SoundCloud standouts in his own DIY cohort. Fittingly, the increased budget came along with some stunning visual effects to spice up the flow of the video’s narrative while enhancing Bennett’s trademark surrealism. Em gets punched in the face by Mike Tyson, breathes fire, vomits Legos, and performs surgery alongside longtime collaborator Dr. Dre. And speaking of collaborators, “Godzilla” is a hallmark moment for Marshall too; it’s the first time he really embraced the SoundCloud rappers he’d formerly spent huge segments of his albums belittling.
3. Polo G — “My All”
Of all Cole Bennett’s most frequent collaborators, he most frequently turns in his best work with hometown artists like Juice WRLD and Polo G. In the video for “My All,” the Chi-Town natives tone down the usual comedic elements of Cole’s catalog in favor of something more emotionally resonant. It looks simple, but it’s not; a seated Polo performs the lyrics as a montage of memories both celebratory and traumatic, scroll behind him. The fourth wall break at the end is a fun surprise.
2. Cordae & Juice WRLD — “Doomsday”
My personal favorite out of the videos presented here, “Doomsday” takes a simple concept and adds stupendous visual flair with the aid of facial overlay technology. This is how you pay homage to departed artists; Cordae puts on a clinic as both himself and his late friend Juice WRLD, while Cole puts deepfake algos to an actual artistic use that doesn’t require stealing the work of real artists.
1. Juice WRLD — “Lucid Dreams”
The video that put Bennett on my personal radar, “Lucid Dreams” is far from his most stunning. But it’s hard to argue with a billion views; “Lucid Dreams” is the song that made Juice a star, it’s still his biggest song to date, and the video displays Cole’s gift for dreamlike visuals, which also fits the theme of the song.
