Following the rapper’s death at the age of 21 in 2019, there was and still is an overwhelming outpouring of mourning for the Chicago sensation, whose music has grown in popularity over time. We’re looking at Juice WRLD’s, also known as Jarad Anthony Higgins, greatest hits on this list (so keep in mind that while his leaks are excellent, we won’t be include any of the fan favourites, like “Rental”). Instead, we want to highlight his incredible original musical discography.
10) Let Me Know (I Wonder Why Freestyle)
Originally made for his first EP, “JuiceWrld 9 9 9.” When Let Me Know (I Wonder Why Freestyle) was posted on SoundCloud in 2018, it became an instant classic for devoted listeners. In addition to being a great way to start listening to his music in 2018, this song gained a lot of popularity due to its smooth and melodic feel. On December 7, 2019, the song which had been available on SoundCloud for less than a year was officially released on streaming platforms. This coincided with the song’s increasing popularity on the social media app TikTok. Additionally, it peaked at number 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
9) Yacht Club
Now, here is a smash hit song “Yacht Club” that was an unexpected hit for fans of Lil Yachty – a popular rapper joined forces with Juice WRLD on “Yacht Club” which featured on Lil Yachty’s third studio album, ‘Nuthin’ 2 Prove’. The song peaked at number 91 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and many fans of both artists believe that it’s a pretty fantastic song. Despite Juice WRLD’s being just a feature, we had to include this song on the list because of how great Juice WRLD and Lil Yachty are together, creating the impression that they are freestyling a pleasant conversation over an energetic beat.
8) Candles
The Chicago rapper Juice WRLD’s ability to not only freestyle a catchy chorus but also elaborate on the dangerous cycle he has fallen into of turning to drugs to cope with his emotions is evident in this two-time platinum song, in which he describes how his last relationship/breakup hit him hard because he was taking lots of Xanax during that moment in time. This perfectly carries over the theme of his debut album, Goodbye & Good Riddance.
7) Bandit
Even though this well-known song was first leaked online in June 2018, there was a lot of buzz around its release due to a clip of prominent rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s vocals that surfaced online. This led to rumours that the song would include YoungBoy. The song was published on all platforms on October 4, 2019. Furthermore, “Death Race for Love,” his second studio smash album, included the song as a bonus track. With its peak position of number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, the song became YoungBoy’s highest charting single.
6) Armed & Dangerous
The sixth track from the 2018 album Goodbye & Good Riddance. In “Armed and Dangerous,” one of Juice WRLD’s most popular songs, he discusses his financial success as a rising musician. This song was such a hit that it went on to peak number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified five times Platinum by the RIAA.
5) Bad Boy
With the song recorded in 2019 and a music video shot on October 25, 2019, little over a month before Juice WRLD passed away in December 2019, on Chicago’s West side. The track released on January 15, 2021.
Juice WRLD and well-known rapper, Young Thug compare themselves to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, the main characters in the 1995 comedy picture Bad Boys, and rap about their reckless lifestyles on the song. Cole Bennet, the founder of the well-known music video YouTube channel “Lyrical Lemonade,” collaborated frequently with Juice WRLD, and the two of them greatly aided one other in achieving their present level of fame. That’s why it was sad to learn that Cole Bennett also disclosed that it marked the end of his and Juice WRLD’s visual collaboration.
Due to its popularity, the song peaked at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
4) Lean Wit Me
One day before to the album’s release on May 23, 2018, “Lean Wit Me” was made released as the third single from Goodbye & Good Riddance. This is a painfully beautiful rap song with sad lyrical themes that heavily emphasise addiction and death-related thoughts. The song’s lyrics are full of allusions to drugs and improper use, discussing how misusing substances may result in tragic romance and self-destruction.
Modern music reviewers gave “Lean wit Me” good reviews when it was first released. It reached its peak in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 list, placing it at number 68. Since then, the RIAA has certified the song five times platinum.
3) Robbery
On the US Billboard 200, Higgins’s popular song “Robbery” had its first number one debut. Numerous reviewers described the deeply personal song, which has over 1 billion plays on Spotify alone, as being about a lady stealing his heart as it dealt with emotional separation.
The popular song went five times platinum and is widely considered to be Juice WRLD’s finest single to date.
2) Lucid Dreams
The song, which began the career of the Chicago rapper, was the blockbuster hit of the summer of 2019. The Nick Mira-produced song “Lucid Dreams” by Juice WRLD, also known as “Lucid Dreams (Forget Me),” topped the charts and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was certified Diamond by the RIAA and has over 2.5 billion plays on Spotify, making it one of the most played songs on the streaming platform.
With almost a billion views on YouTube, the Lyrical Lemomnade music video has become a beloved classic by Juice WRLD fans. As part of the re-release of Goodbye & Good Riddance to celebrate the album’s third anniversary, a remix featuring well-known rapper Lil Uzi Vert was officially released on May 28, 2021. The remix was recorded in 2018 and received a lot of buzz from fans.
Lil Uzi Vert and Juice WRLD would work together again, as they recorded the hit song “Wasted” together, which was released on July 10, 2018. Later, the song was added to the former’s debut studio album Goodbye & Good Riddance, which was released earlier in May 2018 and featured Uzi as its only feature. The song peaked at number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with over 600 million streams on Spotify.
1) All Girls Are The Same
Every artist has a beginning, and Jarad Anthony Higgins had an amazing beginning with this song prior to the popular song “Lucid Dreams.” After the music video for “All Girls Are the Same” debuted in February, Juice WRLD’s debut single was formally released on April 13, 2018, serving as the lead track on his debut studio album, Goodbye & Good Riddance. The song, which was produced by Nick Mira, has received over one billion Spotify plays. On the Billboard Hot 100, the single peaked at number 41 after debuting at number 92.
Similarly with “Lucid Dreams,” the song is certified eight times platinum by the RIAA and has since been recognised as a classic by fans of Juice WRLD.
Many music lovers were greatly impacted by Juice WRLD; let’s honour him by keeping up with his music and visiting his foundation if you’re feeling down.
