The hip hop community is mourning.
Fans were eager to see where Juice WRLD’s career would lead. The Chicago artist scored a huge hit with “Lucid Dreams”, which was posted on his SoundCloud in 2017 and appeared on his debut album, Goodbye & Good Riddance, in 2018. He proved that he would only continue to grow and impress when he shared his sophomore effort, Death Race For Love, this year.
The hip hop community is surely still processing Juice WRLD’s death, but many have shared their initial reactions on social media. DJ Akademiks tweeted about how he was supposed to see Juice this weekend. Ski Mask the Slump God is taking the news hard, as he’s in disbelief over losing another close friend. Most of the messages express shock and sadness, but some people took a shot at detailing Juice WRLD’s talent, impact and importance in their lives.

Terrible news about the young man Juice Wrld. We share December 2nd as our arrival day. Gone way too soon. Life is precious.
Oh my God …. Rest In Peace Juice World. One of the most talented young artists in hip hop. I cannot believe this.
Me and Open Mike Eagle were just discussing how nice Juice WRLD is on Friday. I was waxing poetic about his Westwood freestyles. The kid loved rapping. He really impressed the shit out of me every time I heard him freestyle.
This current time we live in is really trash yo… xxx, peep, and juice wrld were legit among the three MOST talented artists of this generation…
From Forbes “In just two years, Juice WRLD placed an incredible 25 songs onto the Hot 100, which is more than many well-known figures in other genres manage in their entire careers. “
Sad day… the kid Juice World was really talented and pushing music to a new place. #RIPJuiceWorld
