Juice WRLD recorded a vast catalog within a short period, though many of these records have yet to be heard from the public. The rapper reportedly left behind 2,000 songs before his untimely death in 2021. The estate of the Chicago artist has slowly unveiled records from his vault, even as many of these songs leak onto the Internet. This week, Juice WRLD’s single, “The Light” arrived in its entirety, following an announcement made by DJ Scheme on Wednesday promising new music from the late rapper. The single is expected to land on Juice WRLD’s next project, The Party Never Ends.
“The Light” initially surfaced online last year, though there was no indication when it would hit streaming services. The latest record reflects Juice WRLD’s unique blend of styles – his ethos for rap, blended with pop-punk influences and infectious radio-friendly melodies. Most importantly, “The Light” highlights Juice WRLD’s relatability that turned him into a household name. Throughout the song, he details his personal struggles while reflecting on how his partner’s helped him out of the dark place.
Juice WRLD’s Estate Unveils “The Light”
The latest single marks his first posthumous release of the year. Since his 2019 death, the rapper’s estate unloaded plenty of content, including a documentary and two out of three posthumous albums due out. Legends Never Die arrived in 2020, with singles such as “Come & Go,” “Smile,” and “Tell Me U Love Me.” Then, Fighting Demons dropped the following year, which served as the second to last album in the posthumous trilogy.
Lil Bibby, the founder of Grade A, announced earlier this year that his final project, The Party Never Ends is currently in the works. “The Last Juice WRLD Album is in the works… We want this album to feel like a Celebration/Party! Let’s celebrate the life of Juice,” he wrote. “No more mourning, I want everyone that Juice loved while he was here to help celebrate, especially his fans who he loved! You guys have been the best fans an artist can have (Minus the death threats to Bibby).” Check out the new Juice WRLD single above.
Quotable Lyrics I had to cuff you up, like a cop on a heist Cupid is the judge, so I must testify I won’t move or budge, I’ll stand by you for life All my life, when you die is when I die
What do we know about Juice Wrld’s posthumous album? One of the biggest what-ifs in the music industry, Juice Wrld, was a different breed. Jarad Anthony Higgins, or his stage name Juice Wrld was an emo-rapper who just went into the studio and freestyled song after song.
Often using the same instrumental and recording 2-3 different songs from that beat. It has been rumored that Juice has over 2,000 songs in his discography that are still unreleased to this day. Fans hope we get some of those unreleased songs on the new album.
After his death, Juice was still under contract with the record label Grade A. They had gathered songs that Juice Wrld potentially wanted on an album and created two more albums under his name. These two posthumous albums were called “Legends Never Die” and “Fighting Demons.”
Everything We Know About The Juice Wrld Album “The Party Never Ends”
Being delayed multiple times, the album has been promised to us numerous times. Lil Bibby, who owns Grade A Productions, always promises the fans the album. Many fans dislike Bibby because of these false promises.
The album was first teased to the fans in July of 2021 by Juice Wrld’s manager Peter Jideonwo. He told the fans that the album would be released that summer and have fewer than five features.
Jideonwo had this to say on Instagram Live back in 2021, “I can’t guarantee the album will be this month, but pretty soon,” Jideonwo revealed in an Instagram Live. He continued: “‘The Party Never Ends’ is going to be the best album, not only musically but creatively. 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.”
Juice Wrld’s estate went on and officially announced the album on July 8, 2021. It was accompanied by a 15-second project trailer on YouTube.
It was confirmed that this album at the time would be the first part of a trilogy series. Lil Bibby himself revealed this in a June interview with VladTv.
Months have passed, and we didn’t get many updates until Lil Bibby tweeted, “first part of the album is 90% done, jus waiting on @trvisXX spam him!!”. From there on, we would continue to get tweets from Juice’s circle. Tweets that referenced song lyrics to tweets talking about updates on the album.
Lil Bibby would continue to tweet out more release dates and say they are waiting on people. It was always an excuse, and the album continued to be delayed longer and longer.
When the documentary was about to be released, Bibby went on Instagram live to explain that he had to postpone the album again. He also wanted to have the documentary of Juice WRLD released with the album. As we can see, the album never dropped.
We would then receive an update that the album would drop in 2022. From there, multiple people would start getting creative with the tracklist and leaking it. The label denied most of the tracklists as false, but many continued to make them.
On Instagram and Twitter, fans would continue to ask people in Juice’s circle about the album’s release dates. They would also go on to ask them to put out certain songs or suggested songs to be on the tracklist.
April 29, 2022, Lil Bibby tweeted, “no party this year.” This comes from leakers and hackers posting unreleased music on third-party sites. This led to the frustration of Bibby and Grade A, as they wanted to release the album but couldn’t because of the leaks.
Lil Bibby, Pete Jideonwo, and DJ Scheme would all go on to vent about the frustration of the leakers and blame them and the fans that the album wouldn’t come out because of them. Bibby even threatened to cancel the album because hackers leaked the unreleased music.
Since then, only a little has been heard about the album and its updates. Nevertheless, on February 4, Bibby posted an update on Instagram. He explained how this would be the last album in the works—changing from the original idea of a trilogy.
This is what he said on Instagram, “The Last Juice WRLD Album is in the works… We want this album to feel like a Celebration/Party! Let’s celebrate the life of Juice No more mourning, I want everyone that Juice loved while he was here to help celebrate, especially his fans who he loved! You guys have been the best fans an artist can have (Minus the death threats to Bibby) . I’m not gonna complain but i’ll jus say this is not easy. We miss you, We love you 999 til the world ends .”
This announcement happened after Juice Wrld’s discography was reportedly sold to Opus Music Group. We don’t know if the Instagram post meant that this would be Juice’s last Grade A album, but many fans hope this will not be the end.
Fans were blessed to hear an apparent release date for the album. Of course, we are now past that release date of March 13, but we got another update saying it will be released sometime this year.
Hopefully, they are finally telling the fans the truth, as all they want is new music from Juice WRLD. So again, hopefully, this will be the last delay for the album, and that we will get it this year.
Lil Bibby and Juice WRLD fans have a strange relationship. Juice signed to the fellow Chicago native’s label Grade A Productions back in 2017. Under that contract, Juice put out two studio albums before his tragic death in December 2019. Since then, two posthumous Juice records have been released. These include Legends Never Die and Fighting Demons. Additionally, a third one reportedly titled The Party Never Ends should arrive soon.
In the years after Juice’s death, however, his fans have not been fond of how Bibby and Juice’s camp have operated regarding posthumous releases. Along with The Party Never Endsbeing hit with multiple delays due to leaks, Juice’s cousin Millz had some harsh words for Juice’s ex-girlfriend Ally Lotti, saying she was “controlling and manipulating” him while he was alive. It’s safe to say that those who love Juice need to see a well-executed release of his next project.
Among all this dysfunction, reports from Billboard on Feb. 3 claimed that Bibby, Grade A and Juice’s estate had sold most of Juice’s publishing rights to Opus Music Group. They represent reggateon artists like Maluma and Rauw Alejandro. However, on Feb. 6, Bibby took to Twitter to deny these claims. He tweeted: “We sold nothing…” Bibby has not elaborated on this, which makes it hard to believe that Billboard’s reports would be inaccurate. A spokesperson for Opus gave a statement to Billboard at the time the story broke that emphasized how impactful the deal is. “To represent the body of work of Juice Wrld – whose cultural significance and generational influence can’t be overstated – is an honor and a responsibility,” they said.
One day after the Billboard report, Bibby posted on Instagram that “the last Juice WRLD album is in the works,” which could certainly validate Bibby’s claims that he is still in control of Juice’s music. The Party Never Ends will be the first full-length Juice WRLD release since December 2021. It will likely serve as the final official release for the slain rapper. Surely more clarity from Bibby will come regarding who owns his publishing rights. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on this developing story.
Juice WRLD’s previously announced EP, The Party Never Ends, is only the tip of the spear according to a new press release from Interscope announcing a trio of posthumous projects on the way. Apparently, the three projects will form a connected, three-part album, beginning with The Party Never Ends and continuing through the next two releases. An animated, sci-fi-inspired teaser trailer was also released, featuring a snippet of new music from the late Chicago rapper.
According to Complex, Juice’s former manager, Peter Jideonwo, told Twitch streamer Adin Ross that the project would end up featuring Lil Uzi Vert and “a few other big people.” According to Lil Bibby, the founder of Grade A Productions, the imprint under which Juice WRLD released the bulk of his music (with distribution and marketing from Interscope), in a series of now-deleted tweets, the first part of the album is planned to feature Travis Scott.
Juice, who was clearly quite prolific when recording, has verses on Migos’ recently released Culture III and on Maroon 5’s album Jordi, along with the new material coming via the three-part album releasing soon. Most recently, a deluxe version of his debut album was re-issued, featuring Lil Uzi Vert on a remix of his breakout song “Lucid Dreams.”
Since Juice WRLD’s tragic passing in late 2019, there hasn’t been a shortage of new music from the late rapper. His first posthumous album, Legends Never Die, was released last summer, and now it looks like another new project is on the way.
In a recent interview, the rapper’s team declared that a new EP titled The Party Never Ends is on the way and that it will feature Lil Uzi Vert as well as “a few other big people.” Beyond that, they didn’t offer any additional info like a release date, approximate length, or song titles.
Even aside from Legends Never Die, there has been a bunch of new Juice WRLD material over the past year-plus since his passing. Just a few days ago, he popped up on new albums from Migos and Maroon 5. Other recent collaborators include Post Malone, Clever, The Kid Laroi, and Young Thug.
He never got in the studio with Kid Cudi, though, which Cudi recently lamented on Twitter, saying of Juice and DMX, “Im really am pissed and heartbroken I never got to link w these guys. X and Juice were real ones. Loved what they brought to the game. It was beautiful to witness.”
No more mourning, I want everyone that Juice loved while he was here to help celebrate, especially his fans who he loved! You guys have been the best fans an artist can have (Minus the death threats to Bibby) 
. I’m not gonna complain but i’ll jus say this is not easy. We miss you, We love you 999 til the world ends
