Ep 3 'On Everybody’s Playlist'
The story of Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion and Lil Peep.
In this episode we meet Juice WRLD. After starting out making music whilst still at school and releasing early tracks on Soundcloud Juice quickly developed a huge fanbase who connected to the emotional honesty and vulnerability in his music. By the age of 19 he'd signed a record deal for $3million. We hear from producers and collaborators who describe Juice's creative process, and how his standout track Lucid Dreams came about - which has now been streamed well over a billion times. Rapper XXXTentacion took a different route - setting up his own label and having more direct involvement in his releases, though his success in music was increasingly matched by controversy in his personal life.
