Juice WRLD‘s estate recently dropped a new single “Lace It,” featuring Eminem.
The single, produced by Juice WRLD’s longtime collaborator and friend Benny Blanco, is the first official new single from the late rapper this year.
Both rappers warn of the dangers of addiction over their respective verses.
“I was lucky, my escape was narrow and due / Now think I take it for granted / That I’m still here, synthetic heroin you tried to kill me, then you murdered Jarad, didn’t you?” Eminem raps giving a nod to Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins. “Addiction’s like a fuckin’ vicious cycle / Juice, we will forever miss you / To the younger generation, I ain’t lecturin’ you, but man just be careful when you.”
“Lace It” marks the second posthumous collaboration between Juice WRLD and Eminem. Just a month after Juice WRLD’s death in 2019, a verse of his appeared on Eminem’s “Godzilla.”
In a statement, Higgins’ mother Carmela Wallace said of “Lace It,” “I can recall Jarad playing Eminem’s music on repeat at home because he was a huge fan. This is a bittersweet moment for me; I am happy that Jarad had a chance to make music with someone he admired and sad that he cannot be here to take in the moment; Jarad left us way too soon.”
Juice WRLD died of a drug-related seizure in December 2019 at the age of 21.
