Juice WRLD (real name Jarad Anthony Higgins) died of a drug overdose aged 21 in December 2019, nine months after the release of his second album, ‘Death Race For Love’.

Since then, a posthumous album called ‘Legends Never Die’ came out last July, with another record called ‘The Party Never Ends’, due out this summer.

According to reports, the new album will be the first in a posthumous trilogy, with Juice WRLD’s manager Peter Jideonwo confirming that ‘The Party Never Ends’ will be released this summer and that it has “less than five features” from guest rappers and musicians.

“I can’t guarantee the album will be this month, but pretty soon,” Jideonwo revealed in an Instagram Live.







He continued: “‘The Party Never Ends’ is going to be the best album, not only musically but creatively. We got a big collab on the album cover and also the merch. Everything about it is fire. We’re not just doing some basic music…we’re taking our time to craft a classic you’ll talk about for the next ten years.”
