Higgins began his career as an independent artist in 2015 under the name JuicetheKidd, and signed a recording contract with fellow Chicago rapper Lil Bibby's Grade A Productions in 2017; he entered a joint venture with Interscope Records early the following year. He gained recognition with the diamond-certified 2018 single "Lucid Dreams", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The song preceded his triple platinum debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance (2018), which also included the Billboard Hot 100 entries "All Girls Are the Same", "Lean wit Me", "Wasted", and "Armed and Dangerous". He then released the collaborative mixtape Wrld on Drugs (2018) with Future, as well as his second album, Death Race for Love (2019); the latter contained the hit single "Robbery" and became Higgins' first number one debut on the US Billboard 200.

Higgins died of a drug overdose on December 8, 2019. His first posthumous album, Legends Never Die (2020), matched chart records for most successful posthumous debut and for most U.S. top-ten entries from one album, while the single "Come & Go" (with Marshmello) became Higgins' second song to reach number two on the Hot 100. His second posthumous album, Fighting Demons (2021), was released alongside the documentary film Juice Wrld: Into the Abyss and contained the U.S. top 20 single "Already Dead". His third posthumous album, The Party Never Ends (2024), was released alongside an appearance and virtual concert in the video game Fortnite.

Career

Higgins developed as an artist in his first year of high school. His first track, "Forever", was released on SoundCloud in 2015 under the name JuicetheKidd. Higgins recorded most of his first tracks on a cellphone, uploading them to SoundCloud in his sophomore year. He changed his name from JuicetheKidd, a name inspired by his affection for rapper Tupac Shakur's role in the film Juice, to Juice Wrld because he and his associates believed the change would benefit his career. In an interview with the Atlanta radio station WHTA, Higgins revealed that the latter part of his stage name initially had no meaning but that he came to think it "represents taking over the world". "Too Much Cash", Higgins' first track to be produced by frequent collaborator Nick Mira, was released in 2017.{{cite web|title=Too Much Cash (Prod.

In 2018, the streaming platform Spotify named "emo rap" its fastest growing genre. Higgins achieved significant mainstream success as a figurehead of the sub-genre. This was boosted by his collaboration with Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie.{{cite web|author=Rindner, Grant|date=December 11, 2018|title=Juice WRLD is Setting Himself Apart by Embracing Rap's Trends and Traditions|url=https://www.complex.com/pigeons-and-planes/2018/12/juice-wrld-freestyle-interview|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191209070618/https://www.complex.com/pigeons-and-planes/2018/12/juice-wrld-freestyle-interview|archive-date=December 9, 2019|access-date=December 9, 2019|work=Complex}} Higgins himself considered the emo label to be both negative and positive as he felt music sometimes has to be a bit dark to reflect his belief that the world is not really a light or a happy place.

Higgins said that "Lucid Dreams" was the only track from Goodbye & Good Riddance that he wrote, while the rest was done impromptu. Rather than write down his rhymes, Higgins crafted whole songs in a few minutes by way of off-the-cuff rhyming. Most of the time, his songwriting process involved freestyling lyrics instead of writing them down. When he did write a song, it usually began with hearing a beat and instantaneously conceiving an idea, although Higgins sometimes found himself alone with an idea for a song and afraid that he would be unable to remember it hours later after arriving at the studio. For this reason, he sometimes took a voice memo or simply wrote the whole song.{{cite web|author=Maduakolam, Emmanuel|date=July 31, 2018|title=Juice WRLD Talks 'Lucid Dreams' and Emo Rap|url=https://hypebeast.com/2018/7/juice-wrld-interview-goodbye-and-good-riddance|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109030026/https://hypebeast.com/2018/7/juice-wrld-interview-goodbye-and-good-riddance|archive-date=November 9, 2019|access-date=August 20, 2018|work=Hypebeast|publisher=Hypebeast Limited}}

Higgins saw the value in his position as one of very few contemporary SoundCloud artists who could compose soul-baring ballads and odes but remain comfortable freestyle rapping over classic hip-hop beats. Rather than eschewing it, his freestyles emphasize wordplay and feel indebted to the art form's tradition. When asked for his opinion on why freestyles are no longer considered the rite of passage in hip-hop culture as they once were he replied, "Stuff is just changing, that's all. We're moving into a new era of music. I feel like it's not necessarily a good thing to forget where shit started, but shit is changing". Though his songs do not always feature very technical lyricism, intricate flows or tongue-twisting wordplay, Higgins delivered inventive flows and memorable bars during his freestyles.

= Lyrical themes =

His most successful singles express melodic, emo-inspired compositions that exhibit his songwriting skill. His songs harbor melodic flows to complement their melancholic subjects. Higgins claimed he talked about things others are thinking but are afraid to speak about, such as being vulnerable and hurt. Having built a following through emo rap, Higgins offered lyrics that touch on heartbreak and fragmented feelings. Though not entirely groundbreaking, his musical approach provided a sense of familiarity that heartbroken adolescents of the current generation could gravitate towards. Higgins maintained that he only wrote from personal experience, and found strength in his pain and vulnerability. While the lyrical content of his songs often centered on heartache and bitterness, there are occasionally more boastful lines and creative references.

Personal life

Higgins had a history of drug abuse which began at an early age; he spoke openly about his experiences.{{cite news|last1=Coscarelli|first1=Joe|last2=Garcia|first2=Sandra E.|date=December 8, 2019|title=Juice WRLD, Rising Rap Artist, Dies at 21|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/08/arts/music/juice-wrld-dead.html|url-status=live|access-date=December 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191208225612/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/08/arts/music/juice-wrld-dead.html|archive-date=December 8, 2019}} His mother claimed that he was also dealing with anxiety and depression on top of his battle with drug addiction.

Rapper Uncle Murda addressed the death of Juice Wrld in his annual 'Rap Up' song for 2019. He paid respects recognizing Juice WRLD's legacy:

I hope you heard me and the shit I said just made you smile (Ha!)
