天妒英才 − 眾多音樂人哀悼已故饒舌歌手 Juice WRLD

本名 Jarad Anthony Higgins 的 Juice WRLD，曾在《Legend》一曲中唱到：

All legends fall in the making.
Sorry truth, dying young, demon youth.
What’s the 27 Club?
We ain’t making it past 21.

如今，剛過完 21 歲生日的他，五天前才在 Instagram 上發佈了貼文慶祝自己的生日，卻在不久前於芝加哥機場意外癲癇症發作，送醫搶救後仍不治，永遠天人永隔。稍早 Juice WRLD 所屬廠牌 Interscope Geffen A&M Records 亦發出聲明：

Juice 在如此短的時間內對世界產生了深遠的影響。他的內心是一個溫柔的靈魂，他的創造力無止境，是一位傑出的藝術家，他熱愛並關心他的歌迷。失去如此仁慈、貼心的人真的是一場惡夢。我們，以及 Juice 的家人、朋友，以及他在全球的數百萬粉絲將會永遠與他同在。

以《All Girls Are The Same》、《Lucid Dreams》等歌曲打響知名度的 Juice WRLD，共發行過《Goodbye & Good Riddance》與《Death Race for Love》兩張專輯，《Death Race for Love》更曾登上 Billboard 兩百大專輯榜單榜首的佳績。在正要發光發熱的階段卻迅速隕落，任誰也不希望聽到這樣的消息，而眾多音樂人例如 Drake、Lil Uzi Vert、Lil Yachty、Ski Mask the Slump God、Lil Tecca 以及更多都紛紛向 Juice WRLD 表示悼念，各位可於下方閱讀，並可再次回顧《About Rap #002：世代傳承-你最應該關注的 5 組潛力饒舌歌手！》專欄。
