#Juice Wrld gets new life with his posthumous album, ‘Legends Never Die’

Seven months after his death from an accidental overdose, Juice Wrld gets new life with his posthumous third studio album, “Legends Never Die,” released Friday.

The “Lucid Dreams” singer-rapper, who was just 21 when he died last December, gets an all-star send-off on his new LP. On one interlude, “The Man, the Myth, the Legend,” he even gets props from the likes of Eminem, J. Cole, Travis Scott and Young Thug, among others.

And while he didn’t live long enough to potentially become a true legend, these collaborations show that the artist born Jarad Higgins still had plenty of juice.

“Tell Me U Luv Me,” featuring Trippie Redd


With TR spitting a guest rap to go along with Juice Wrld’s melodic croon, this trippy track picks up the pace from the mid-tempo moodiness elsewhere. It also showcases an emo sensitivity that has Juice dripping in feelings: “Tell me you love me/Tell me everything will be OK.”

“Life’s a Mess,” featuring Halsey


“Sometimes life’s a mess/I get high when I’m upset,” Juice sings in a chorus that proved to be all too real about his drug abuse. Taking over the last verse, Halsey is his melancholy match, a source of both comfort and commiseration. Clearly, the two had a connection: The “Without Me” singer also provides background vocals on “I Want It.”

“Come & Go,” featuring Marshmello


This track starts off with some personal reflection that gives you a sense of the demons that Juice was battling: “I try to be everything that I can/But sometimes I come out as being nothing.” Marshmello crashes the party with an EDM infusion that still can’t fist-pump away the sadness. The DJ/producer also appears on “Hate the Other Side,” along with Polo G and the Kid Laroi.

“Man of the Year,” co-written and co-produced by Skrillex


Juice Wrld rocks out on this punk-spiked rave-up that comes out of left field. It won’t make you forget about Green Day, but he gets points for switching it up with Skrillex behind the boards. And who knows what other risk-taking moves he might have made if his career hadn’t been tragically cut so short?
