future – minutes of my heart

Man, we really lost a gem. I first listened to Juice WRLD (Jarad Anthony Higgins) in WRLD on Drugs a collaborative album by Future and Juice WRLD. The album was about dope and was dope. There were some really good bangers on it, and the duo seemed to produce good sound together. Juice hails from Chicago, Illinois and was signed to Interscope Records.

Juice was popular for his introspective style of rapping and using predominantly mellow R&B beats. Songs such as Empty and Maze proved that he could talk about important issues that every human goes through whilst struggling. It added to address the problem with the general ethos of sadness that is somehow much more pronounced in all public spaces online or offline, (maybe it’s because people are not afraid to express anymore, and Juice made them feel better).

His first posthumous album Legends Never Die, (aptly named) continued his story of dealing with fame at a young age (he died six days after turning 21). Jarad is deemed a genius because of immense maturity in his lyrics despite his age.

Jarad’s death should serve as constant reminder to not indulge extremely in shit that can kill you.

RIP JUICE

There is no point in thinking about the future or results. They’re a manifestation of the ‘now’ and if you do ‘now’ well then the results will speak for it (in some rare cases they may not). But more or less it is contingent upon the ‘now’.

I’m optimistic about my time ahead with university/life and at the same time I dread setbacks or failures, although I performed really well this semester. I have exciting things to look forward to and have tonnes of shit to do to accomplish them and I’m pretty sure that I’ll probably fail in a lot of stuff, but that’s okay, cause I also have the confidence to keep putting in maximum effort and that eventually one highly desirable opportunity will fall in my lap.

What are you doing now?
