I will never forget the first time I heard Juice’s music. It was spring of 2018, I was on spring break and one of my homies showed me All Girls Are the Same. Well after that night life itself was never the same. I immediately became irrationally obsessed with Juice, I remember listening to Lucid Dreams and AGATS nonstop for weeks on end like I was addicted. Because I was. For me, and many of you on here, Juice’s music was a drug. It still is. The type that never hurts you or kills you, but instead heals you. Maybe I was especially drawn to his music early on because i have gone through my own addictions and heartbreaks. I really don’t know what it is that drew me to his music so immediately and so obsessively, but all I know is that from that point on, Juice became my literal idol. I adored him. He embodied everything I wanted to be, from a lifestyle standpoint, a swag standpoint, but most importantly, just a personality standpoint. He was always smiling and laughing. Always making others smile and laugh. It’s amazing to me how the creator of such morbid music was able to be such an all around great hearted person. I wanted to take the pain I have always felt and still feel, and turn it into positivity just as Juice did. To make a long story short over the course of 2018 I discovered more and more of his music, following the release of GBGR and the hundreds of leaks that have come out. 2019 came and brought DRFL which I fell in love with even more than GBGR. I ended up seeing Juice on his DRFL tour in San Francisco with Ski. Greatest fucking concert I have ever been to and will ever go to. Juice was amazing live, not just energy wise and rapping but his singing was very, very impressive as well, maybe the most impressive facet of his performance. Anyways I don’t really know where I’m going with this but I just feel so lost without him. I loved him and cared for him so much that it almost felt like I knew him. He was a true source on inspiration for me on a profound level. Juice has basically been my life and idol for over a year, and it still doesn’t even feel real that he’s dead yet. I wouldn’t be who I am without his guidance, and I know that for a fact. I just want to wake up and have this all be a dream, but I know its not. This is real. Drugs are a problem. We need the next generation of rappers to stay away from all that shit, because look what happened. My generation of rappers born in the late ‘90s are all dying. I have no one left to relate to my age and its such an empty, lonely feeling. Still, I’d like to thank Juice for making the WRLD a better place and making everything more bearable for me. His music was seriously healing. There will never be another like Jarad. Rest well, King. Sincerely, an admirer and superfan for life.💔9️⃣9️⃣9️⃣🖤
