Released seven months after the sudden death of rapper Juice WRLD, the album Legends Never Die, composed of twenty-one tracks and a duration of 56 minutes, sounds like a farewell to its fans. "I still see your shadows in my room/Can't take back the love that I gave you". These are the lyrics of his famous song Lucid Dreams, from his project Goodbye & Good Riddance. The clip released in 2018 has accumulated more than 530 million views.

An artist who has become a must

Real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, the American rapper makes his debut on the SoundCloud platform with his first track entitled Forever. Put on the front of the stage with Lucid Dreams, the artist surfs on his success and releases Goodbye & Good Riddance in 2018. A project that debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum six months later. We remember prestigious collaborations, including Travis Scott or Future but also a world tour with Nicki Minaj in 2019. Juice WRLD has become a must. His second album Death Race for Love is also at the first place of the Billboard 200 in 2019. But in December 2020, the artist died suddenly at age 21 of an opioid overdose. A scourge that made many other victims before him. A tragic death that deeply affected his fans and the music world. It was then that his voice was heard again on Eminem's Godzilla . In the process, new songs to come are announced on the Instagram page of the deceased. Released on July 10, Legends Never Die was approached by fans thanks to four tracks released before: Righteous, Tell Me U Luv Me Feat Trippie Redd, Life's a Mess Feat Halsey, Come & Go Feat Marshmello. The success of this opus was not long in coming. The album has already sold more than 508,000 copies in its first week and is therefore certified gold. A success that sounds like a tribute to this young rapper.
