Lil Durk Says Juice WRLD Could Have Been The Next Kanye West

There is a long history of artists doing big things out of Chicago. 

Kanye West is obviously one of the biggest names from the city. Others, including Common, Lupe Fiasco, Chief Keef, and more have put Chi-Town on the map in their own ways. Juice WRLD was shaping up to become the next big artist out of Chicago but, unfortunately, he passed away in December 2019 from a drug overdose.

The “Lucid Dreams” superstar was on pace to be one of the most beloved musicians in the world and it’s truly heartbreaking that he’s not here to witness what kind of impact he had on the music industry.

Other Chicago rappers, like Lil Durk, recognize him as a “musical genius”, saying so in his latest interview with Montreality.

Answering questions about his favorite cartoons, his new album The Voice, his girlfriend India, and more, Durkio touched on how he knew that Juice WRLD was so special. Flanked by Booka600 and C3, Durkio said: 

“I rock with him 1000%. [Juice WRLD] was an icon. I’m not just saying that because of what happened to him. He had an advantage to be, like, the next Kanye West coming out of Chicago because he was smart. His personality was crazy. You know what I’m saying, music genius. He’d go in that motherf*cker and freestyle. You know how you go in the studio with somebody and he’s going crazy and even your team is like, ‘oh sh*t, you gotta go crazy!’ They’re putting pressure on me. I damn near forgot who the f*ck I was for a minute.”

A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.
