The posthumous Juice WRLD records continue to bring joy to his fans and we are all set to receive yet another next month as “Fighting Demons”, the second posthumous album will arrive on Dec 10, his mother announced on Thursday.
“There was nothing Jarad ‘Juice WRLD’ Higgins enjoyed more than delivering new music to his millions of fans around the world,” the rapper’s mother Carmela Wallace said in a statement. “He left behind an astonishingly deep catalog of music that will ensure his fans will have new songs to listen to for years to come. Jarad was always searingly honest about his struggles and through his musical genius, he articulated what was on his heart and mind vividly through his art. He never gave up and his friends and family never gave up on offering their support to him.”
On Friday (November 12), Juice WRLD’s single “Already Dead” was released, and it showed the theme and message of Fighting Demons. A video about the forthcoming album was shared on Juice Wrld’s social media and it spoke to the essence of the record.
“You are not your struggles,” a message in the video read. “Addiction, anxiety, depression do not define you. One of the greatest artists of our generation shared his own battle.” The text prefaced a series of clips of Juice performing live and interacting with fans. Intermingled into the video were also snippets of Juice speaking about not letting mental health or emotional struggles hold you back.
“If you have like anxiety or depression, they gonna look at you like you’re crazy. That’s not how it should be, but that’s how it is and that needs to change,” Juice Wrld says in archival footage in the trailer for Fighting Demons.
“We encourage all of you who struggle with addiction and mental health to never give up the fight,” Wallace added. “We continue to extend free support to you via LiveFree999.org created in his honor,” referencing the website Wallace established in October 2020 as a resource for parents of children who struggle with addiction, anxiety, and depression.”
