Just over a year after his death Juice WRLD continues to release new music with 'Bad Boy' becoming his latest single. 'Bad Boy' follows last years album, 'Legends Never Die', and his subsequent singles, 'Reminds Me Of You' with The Kid LAROI and 'Real Shit' with benny blanco, and marks his first release of 2021.
Juice WRLD teams up with Young Thug on his latest single. The pair of rappers, from Chicago and Atlanta respectively, join forces to deliver up a potent, intense burst of immedicay on their latest single. The machine-gun snares, industrial fuzz and war zone enhanced soundtrack all combine to offer up a song that both holds your attention and shakes you about whilst it's got you.
The Will Smith and Martin Lawrence movies that inspired the song's name ('Bad Boys' and 'Bad Boys For Life') give rise to some of it's lyrical content as Juice WRLD and Young Thug trade vocals at pace. "Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, I'm a bad boy, Went and got off my ass and got to the cash and got in my bag, boy".
It's a tragedy to think that had he still been alive Juice WRLD, aka Jared Higgins, would have only just turned 22. His untimely death has prevented him from realising his true potential and has denied us his future creativity. 'Bad Boy' is just a glimpse into the imagination of what could have been. A good song but also a sad reminder.
