Day 8: Juice WRLD, Righteous | 30-Day Song Challenge

Juice WRLD perfectly fulfills the drugs/alcohol driven prompt of Day 8 of the 30-Day Song Challenge with his posthumous single, “Righteous.”

“16 R Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason” features music by Arizona Zervas, Fiona Apple, Gregory Porter, Joji, Juice WRLD & Selena Gomez.

“Righteous” is reflective of both the musical talents of rapper Juice WRLD, as well as the demons leading to his untimely death.

“11 More Really ‘Good’ Songs… It’s That Simple” features music courtesy of Alicia Keys, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Mac Miller & Ne-Yo.

“14 Songs Sure to Lift You Higher” includes music courtesy of Kacey Musgraves, Nipsey Hussle, Panic! At the Disco, Tyla Yaweh, and Whitney Houston.

Norwegian DJ/producer Kygo superbly remixes “Higher Love,” a previously unreleased 1991 Whitney Houston cover of a 1986 Steve Winwood cut.

“11 Awesome Songs That Tickled My Fancy in May 2019” features music by Joyner Lucas, Luke Combs, Mary J. Blige, Thomas Rhett, and Tyler, the Creator.

Avicii lives on through the music on his short, but sweet posthumous promo single, “SOS,” featuring frequent collaborator Aloe Blacc.

“13 Captivating Songs About Being Alone or Lonely” features music courtesy of Alessia Cara, Halsey, Lil Peep, Tori Kelly, and Tyler, the Creator.

Posthumous project ‘SKINS’ should play well to the XXXTENTACION base, but as an album, it’s ‘undercooked’ as opposed to being ‘well done.’

Rapper-singer Lil Peep exhibits growth and a clearer portrait of his artistry on his posthumous full-length LP, ‘Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2.’

Ahead of his posthumous album, ‘Skins,’ late rapper/singer XXXTENTACION releases an ultra-brief, vibe-filled promo single, “BAD.”
