He also collaborated with various well-known artists, such as Ellie Goulding and Lil Uzivert.
He was singled out as a pioneer in ’emo rap’ – a mix of emo-rock and hip-hop – “Any rap that’s talking about what you’re going through is ‘emo rap,’ ” he once tweeted.
Many of his songs dealt with personal issues like heavy drinking and drug abuse. He revealed that he’d started mixing Codiene, a cough syrup with hard candy at the age of 12.
His songs also feature iconic lyrics like “What’s the 27 Club?// We ain’t making it past 21.” he sang in a lyric, now being branded as disturbingly prophetic.

The rapper’s death has shocked fans all over the world. Many are in disbelief and suspect foul play in the death. Rest in Peace, Juice WRLD
