Eminem has joined forces with the late Juice WRLD on a new song that addresses the issue of drug addiction and pays tribute to some of the Hip Hop legends who lost their lives to it.
The track, titled "Lace It," was released on Saturday (December 16) as part of Juice WRLD's posthumous album, "The Party Never Ends." The song features a catchy chorus and a heartfelt verse from Juice WRLD, who died of an accidental overdose in 2019 at the age of 21.
Eminem, who has been vocal about his own struggles with substance abuse and recovery, delivers a powerful verse that warns the younger generation of the dangers of getting hooked on drugs. He also name-drops some of the artists who died from drug-related causes, such as Shock G, Lil Peep, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Gangsta Boo, Pimp C, Prince, and Michael Jackson.
The song is produced by Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, who create a melodic and upbeat backdrop for the sobering lyrics. Eminem and Juice WRLD previously collaborated on the hit single "Godzilla" from Eminem's 2020 album, "Music to Be Murdered By."
"Lace It" is one of the 18 tracks on Juice WRLD's third and final studio album, which features guest appearances from The Weeknd, Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, and more. The album is a testament to Juice WRLD's talent and legacy, as well as a reminder of the tragic consequences of drug abuse.
