Two days after the second anniversary of Juice WRLD’s untimely death, his label Grade A Productions has released his fourth studio album – which is also his second posthumous record (the rapper – aka Jarad Higgins – tragically died from an accidental drug overdose aged just 21). It is a rare thing: a posthumous album, crafted with care, that deepens an artist’s narrative.
His second album, 2019’s ‘Death Race For Love’, released while he was alive, was commercial and upbeat, utilising afroswing, distorted trap and his rock-rap niche. But ‘Fighting Demons’ is much more sombre, slipping in soundbites from Juice WRLD’s Billboard interview in March 2019 and offering a monologue from one of his inspirations, Eminem, who reflects on his own drug addiction.
