“The goal isn’t to live forever, it’s to create something that will.”
Prior to the third annual Juice WRLD Day, Grade A shared the latest posthumous Juice WRLD record “Lace It” featuring Eminem.
Produced by then-close collaborator Benny Blanco, the track (an unheard effort apart of Juice’s 4,000-plus song vault), looks to lead in the late-Jarad Higgins third — and long-awaited — posthumous album, The Party Never Ends. The album is supposedly set for release in early 2024: “Let’s get the ‘The Party Never Ends’ at the top of the year. How about that?”
“LACE IT,” sees Juice and Eminem reunite for their second track together (“Godzilla”). Em’s verse is a chilling reminder of not only Juice’s greatness, but the brevity of his passing.
“Juice, we will forever miss you
To the younger generation (Nah)
I ain’t lecturin’ you, but man
Just be careful when you… [Lace It]”
Eminem on “LACE IT”
This is the latest afterlife effort from Grade A and Juice WRLD’s camp, following “The Light,” “Glo’d Up” and “No Good” off the 5-year anniversary edition of Goodbye & Good Riddance.
The Party Never Ends was originally announced in the summer of 2021. It will be Juice’s third and final posthumous project, which follows a slew of singles in “Cigarettes,” “BYE BYE,” “In My Head” and “Face 2 Face.”
Ceaseless leaks and restructures have plagued its release over the years, as producer MaxLord was working hard to collect and organize the trove of Juice’s unreleased archive for TPNE. However, it appears that Benny Blanco will now be executing the sounds on the project.
“Now drop the album,” Grade A executive and Juice WRLD’s former manager Pete Jideonwo commented under Lil Bibby’s post. Here’s hoping the party truly starts this time.
