If the fact that Gen Z is growing up watching their idols die before their prefrontal cortexes are fully developed seems like a sign of the times, that's because it is.
When the beloved Chicago-born rapper Juice WRLD died in his hometown on Sunday, just a few days after his 21st birthday, comparisons to two of his recently deceased peers XXXTentacion and Lil Peep were immediate. Juice himself wrote frequently about being impacted by the pair's deaths. After XXXTentacion, who was in the midst of legal battles after being accused of assault, was killed, Juice released a two song EP in memory of his friends.
Like his 'SoundCloud rap' peers, Juice often touched on themes of angst, dread and death.
The cause of Juice WRLD's death is still pending investigation; he reportedly died after suffering cardiac arrest following a seizure at a private hangar at Midway Airport, the Chicago Tribune reports. Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ that several of Juice's team told them he had taken"several pills" prior to the seizures, possibly in a bid to hide them from authorities that were searching his team's luggage for drugs and guns.
