Chance The Rapper And G Herbo Pay Tribute To Juice WRLD With ‘PTSD’ On ‘Fallon’
The two Chicago rappers took over an abandoned industrial building to deliver their sincere verses. …
G Herbo returned earlier this year to release his fourth studio album PTSD. The rapper worked on the LP for much of 2019 and was even able to secure a feature by Juice WRLD before the rapper’s tragic death last December. In mourning, the PTSD cover art offers a nod to Juice WRLD as well as other friends he has lost. Continuing to honor the late rapper’s legacy, Herbo tapped Chance The Rapper to perform the PTSD title track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The filmed performance was directed by Armani Martin with Chance serving as the creative director. The two Chicago rappers took over an abandoned industrial building to deliver their verses amid foggy mood lighting while Juice WRLD’s voice cuts in at the chorus. At the end of their performance, Chance and Herbo parted ways as the camera panned to a giant lit-up mural of Juice WRLD.
Just ahead of their performance, Chance told Fallon that his father wasn’t initially gung ho about his choice of a career path. “I don’t know if they were supportive of it, but it was understood,” Chance said, continuing that their relationships saw some “friction” after he graduated from high school. Eventually, though, Chance said his dad came around and supported him with the business side of his career. “But in the beginning, my dad did not want me to be a rapper, for sure,” Chance said.

“Blue Christmas” by Lisa Humber delivers a heartfelt holiday melancholic glow
Weaving an ethereal soundscape that cuts straight to the soul, Lisa Humber’s rendition of “Blue Christmas” feels like unwrapping an intimate letter to the heartbroken, transforming the familiar holiday classic into a profoundly personal exploration of seasonal melancholy. Gone are Elvis Presley’s iconic version’s upbeat, almost playful undertones; Lisa offers a stripped-back performance characterized by a haunting resonance.
Working closely with producer and guitarist Justin Abedin, Humber breathes life into the song’s quiet void that lingers in the spaces where laughter should reside. Her tender and vulnerable voice evokes a rare sense of unfiltered longing. It’s as though she’s singing directly to the part of us that carries the burden of lonely and disappointed festive promises during a time usually filled with happiness and celebration, creating a stark contrast to the glittering cheer of the season.
The minimalistic instrumentation creates an intimate auditory experience. Abedin’s guitar strings hum softly, almost like a fragile heartbeat, leaving room for Lisa’s vocal tenderness to shine. Each note she sings feels deliberate, and every lyric is imbued with the ache of memories and the quiet hope of what could have been.
Humber’s evolution as a songwriter began with her debut original composition, ‘Boxing Day.’ With this new single, she demonstrates her adeptness in capturing the nuances of human emotions. “Blue Christmas” isn’t just a cover; it functions as a reimagined dialogue with the audience, providing shared solace to anyone whose holiday experiences might not meet the cheerful festive narrative.
This interpretation of “Blue Christmas” encapsulates a dual sense of introspective warmth and illumination while simultaneously embodying bittersweet emotions. Its impact is particularly pronounced when complemented by visuals of twinkling lights juxtaposed against through a lens of melancholy. Ultimately, it represents a stunning addition to Humber’s growing catalog of musical works.
