In tribute Eminem is featured on a new single called "Lace It," which is a moving homage to the late rapper Juice WRLD, whose 25th birthday was only two weeks ago. The partnership acts as a reminder of Juice WRLD's significant influence on the music business and the ongoing battle against addiction.
Eminem, who has personal experience with the dangers of addiction, gives a moving verse on "Lace It." The Grammy-winning singer remembers fellow musicians Lil Peep, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Shock G, Pimp C, Prince, and Michael Jackson who lost their lives to addiction in addition to reflecting on his brief escape from the grip of synthetic heroin.
The verse takes a turn as Eminem explicitly mentions Juice WRLD, and the tragic circumstances surrounding his death. "Synthetic heroin, you tried to kill me, then you murdered Jarad, didn't you?" Eminem raps, addressing the insidious nature of addiction that claimed the young rapper's life.
This isn't the first time Eminem and Juice WRLD have joined forces. In 2019, just a month after Juice WRLD's untimely death, the two artists collaborated on "Godzilla," a track that showcased Juice WRLD's unparalleled talent and the integration of their distinct styles.
The production of "Lace It" is attributed to Benny Blanco, who had previously worked closely with Juice WRLD on several tracks, including "Roses," "Black & White," "Graduation," and "Real Shit." Blanco's involvement adds an additional layer of emotional resonance to the collaboration, which showcases the depth of the connection between the artists.
Carmela Wallace, Juice WRLD's mother, shared her mixed emotions about the collaboration in a statement. She recalled how Juice WRLD used to play Eminem's music on repeat at home, emphasizing his admiration for the iconic rapper. Wallace expressed her happiness that her son had the opportunity to collaborate with someone he admired but stated the fact that Juice WRLD could not be present to savor the moment.
Juice WRLD's untimely death in December 2019 at the age of 21 shocked the music world. Four months later, his mother, Carmela Wallace, established the Live Free 999 Fund. The fund aims to support young individuals battling with anxiety, addiction, and depression, to keep Juice WRLD's legacy of resilience and empathy.
"Lace It" stands as a powerful testament to the enduring impact of Juice WRLD's artistry and the universal struggle against addiction. The collaboration with Eminem serves as a touching reminder of the toll substance abuse can take on artists and the importance of addressing mental health issues within the music industry. As fans continue to mourn Juice WRLD's passing, his music and the initiatives driven by his mother provide a platform for advocacy, awareness, and support for those facing similar challenges.
