Juice WRLD and Eminem Release New Song 'Lace It'

Late Rapper Juice WRLD and Eminem Team Up on New Song

Juice WRLD's estate has released a new song titled 'Lace It,' featuring Eminem. The song serves as a warning about the dangers of addiction, with both rappers sharing their experiences and thoughts on the matter. The track was produced by Benny Blanco.

Eminem, who has overcome his own battle with drugs, references fellow musicians who have lost their lives to addiction in his verse. He mentions Lil Peep, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Shock G, Pimp C, Prince, and Michael Jackson. The powerful lyrics emphasize the destructiveness of addiction.

Juice WRLD, whose real name is Jarad Higgins, tragically passed away at the age of 21 in December 2019 due to a drug-related seizure. The collaboration between Juice WRLD and Eminem is their second posthumous release, following their previous collaboration on Eminem's song 'Godzilla.'

A Bittersweet Moment for Juice WRLD's Family

In a statement, Juice WRLD's mother, Carmela Wallace, expressed both happiness and sadness regarding the release of 'Lace It.' She revealed that Juice WRLD was a huge fan of Eminem and often listened to his music on repeat at home. While she is glad that her son had the opportunity to collaborate with his idol, she also feels the pain of his absence during such milestones.

Wallace also mentioned the Live Free 999 Fund, which she established in memory of Juice WRLD. The fund aims to support young people battling anxiety, addiction, and depression. Through this initiative, she hopes to make a positive impact and prevent others from experiencing the same tragic fate as her son.

Legacy Continues Through Music and Philanthropy

Juice WRLD's legacy lives on through his music and the philanthropic efforts of his mother. His posthumous collaborations with Eminem serve as a reminder of his musical talent and the impact he had on the industry.

With 'Lace It,' the two artists shed light on the vicious cycle of addiction, urging listeners, particularly the younger generation, to exercise caution. The emotional and thought-provoking lyrics aim to raise awareness and encourage discussions about mental health and substance abuse.

Through the Live Free 999 Fund, Juice WRLD's family continues to honor his memory and help support those who are struggling. By providing resources and assistance, they hope to prevent future tragedies and provide a glimmer of hope to those in need.
