Just starting at a high school age, American songwriter, rapper and singer Jarad Higgins

aka Juice Wrld, began recording music on his cell phone. Juice Wrld has won over millions of

hearts with his creations of unique music that’s appealing to youngsters. At such a young age,

Juice was able to increase his popularity by a high standard, surpassing many other artists. He

seems very seclusive, does not leak out any details of his personal life, but includes his

experiences in his music.

Juice grew up listening to rock music. His mother was a conservative and very religious,

he wasn’t allowed to listen to hip hop. His first taste to this genre was by playing a video games

like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and Guitar Hero. By the age of 4, the singer learned how to play

the piano. He also learned how to play the guitar later on. As a teenager, Juice was an addict,

he would get high and smoke cigarettes but as he got older, his health required him to suggest

otherwise. Pop has always been my favorite genre to begin with, while listening to Juice’s

version of pop, my interest has just been increasing rapidly. I love the idea of a slow song with

his dull lazy voice matching it all.

Many artists choose to write about the euphoric feeling from drugs, they over

exaggerate the well use of medications. Singer Juice prefers to talk about the pros and cons of

drugs. “ Took too many pills, count up the bills, uh, Molly in my cup, I can't tell you how I feel,

uh, Oh, last call”, he conflicts between the dwelling difference of feeling high off drugs but at

the same time questioning his choice of taking them. Music is a transversal language, we can

communicate and unite with one another while listening to it . Juice’s music appeals the most

to me because of the honesty he speaks through his lyrics. His music relates to the many
emotions individuals have, regardless of being high or not. Juice, as I’ve said earlier tends to be

to himself, he seems as though he’s antisocial but his music speaks out loud for him.

“Fast”, might sound like a slow song, but it’s the singing that surpasses many songs I’ve

heard in awhile. It seems as though Juice doesn’t try too much with his voice, yet he manages

to touch mine and many more listeners heart directly. The melody gives a pop style taste, that

makes me just feel like releasing my stress and enjoying Juice’s voice.

The song “Fast” starts off with the portion of sole instruments, creating the base line

melody for his song. He gets right into his story talking about how “time is moving fast” , and

he’s losing track of every moment. Just at the age of 19, Juice has been able to create such a

constant increasing fame and being able to maintain that standard is what’s troubling him. Juice

talks about the sadness that’s still existing in his life, he “get high” when he’s stressed but is the

“same dude, as he was back then”, still “lost and confused”.

As the song progresses, Juice gets even more deep into the idea about drugs being a

reason for his faults in life. He talks about being 19 and a runaway from home, regardless he

quotes “It's been months since I felt at home , But it's okay 'cause I'm rich, Psych, I'm still sad as

a bitch, right”. Drugs have not been able to release the anxiety and stress everyone claims to do

so. Being high on drugs caused Juice to change his personality, he says “I don't want nobody to

think that I'm an asshole , I don't try to be mean on purpose, I promise, My mama taught me

better than that, I'll be honest”. Juice quotes in his music that he’s been living “fast, fast, fast”,

growing up way earlier than the rest of the kids around him. His whole idea revolves around the

thought of life moving too “FAST”!

 Having his songs listed on the billboard, Juice himself knows his bright future awaits

ahead of him. Songs that have such deep meaning is the style Juice tries to attain. His writing is

odd, might not seem normal but Juice has his ways to communicate with his audience. He sings

by evoking emotions, making listeners intrigued into his music. Fans honestly love his music and

his singing tops it all.
