Juice WRLD's Most Inspirational Quotes on Love, Life and Success

Jared Anthony Higgins was abandoned by his father at the age of three, leaving he and his older brother to be raised alone by their mother. Being more on the stricter side, Higgins' mother did not allow her boys to listen to hip hop, but he did learn a skill that gave him a unique heads-up. Jared started learning how to play the piano at just 4-years-old!

His mother paid for his piano lessons, which would eventually lead to him taking up guitar, drums, and even the trumpet. He began making music and posting songs to SoundCloud using his smartphone, rudimentary production skills that would later help him become a successful rapper, singer and songwriter on his own steam.

But how did this talented, self-motivated young man become what many observers have called a contemporary icon in the industry?

Who Is Juice WRLD: The Rise & Fall of a New Hip Hop Icon

In 2015, Higgins took the stage name Juice WRLD and by 2017, he released his first full-length EP titled 9, 9, 9 which included the single "Lucid Dreams," a song that would become his first Billboard chart entry and one that remains his most streamed release.

Shortly after releasing this EP, Juice WRLD began to garner a huge fan following, while also being noticed by his peers like Waka Flocka Flame and Lil Bibby. Fellow rappers and fans were drawn to his unique hardcore rap grunge sound, as well as his relatable, yet poetic lyrics.

This momentum led him to signing with Lil' Bibby's record label, Grade A Productions, under which, he released an EP titled Nothings Different, in which his track "All Girls Are the Same" became a hit, leading to him signing with Interscope Records on a multi-million dollar deal.

From this success came a string of major hits and collaborations with artists like Young Thug, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert, Halsey, The Weeknd, Benny Blanco, and many others. He was nominated for many awards and even won Top New Artist at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.

Along with Juice WRLD's fame, however, came a dark side. He openly talked about how he started using drugs and drinking alcohol from a very young age. His mother later revealed that he also dealt with anxiety and depression. Mental health is an issue that Juice WRLD's mother still continues to advocate for through his social media account to this day.

The Death of Juice WRLD

Sadly, in 2019, while Juice WRLD was on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, he succumbed to his demons and suffered a devastating overdose. He was taken to the hospital upon landing, but was pronounced dead shortly after.

His album Legends Never Die was released after his death and is one of the most successful posthumous debuts of all time. It also had the most U.S. top-10 entries from one album. On December 2nd, 2020, which would have been Juice WRLD's 22nd birthday, Benny Blanco released a single titled "Real Sh*t," which was in collaboration with the late artist. Just six days later, on the anniversary of Juice WRLD's death, "Reminds Me of You" featuring Kid Laroi was released, and in 2020, Juice WRLD became Spotify's fourth most streamed artist in the world.

To say that Juicy WRLD impacted many lives is an understatement. It is more than evident that he continues to live on as his songs, lyrics, interviews, and words have continued to inspire and touch the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds. He is truly a legend and lucky for his fans, and has left behind a wealth of knowledge and depth that people can always look upon for motivation.
