Juice WRLD was born December 2, 1998 in Chicago and rose to fame for his tracks on SoundCloud. His hit singles, "All Girls Are the Same" and "Lucid Dreams" eventually led to a record contract with Interscope Records.

In 2018 Juice dropped his first studio single, "Goodbye & Good Riddance," which peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200. It was also certified Platinum.

The young star was also open about his battle with addiction, specifically to promethazine/cough syrup, more commonly known as lean.

In an old interview with Hot 97, Juice talked about decisions he has made regarding substances:

"I’ve just kind of realized certain things about myself and my coming up, the way that substances played a part in my life, whether it was me doing them or other people. It’s something that I’m trying to separate myself from."
