The first posthumous single release by Chicago rapper Juice WRLD has been announced as “Righteous” will be added to all streaming services tonight.

The announcement was made by Juice WRLD’s mother Carmella Wallace, his family, and the team at Grade A Productions. 

“Juice was a prolific artist who dedicated his life to making music. Choosing how to share his upcoming music with the world has been no easy feat. Honoring the love Juice felt for his fans while shining a light on his talents and his spirit are the important parts of this process for us,” writes Wallace.

“Tonight we will be releasing a song called ‘Righteous’ which Juice made from his home studio in Los Angeles. We hope you enjoy this new music and continue to keep Juice’s spirit alive. Stay safe everyone.”

The announcement comes in the same week that Carmella Wallace established the Live Free 999 Fund, which seeks to assist programs to help youth with addiction, anxiety, and depression.

Fans of the late 21-year-old artist will recognize this as one of the songs that have leaked online in recent months. While it will sound familiar, the world will finally be able to hear it on a wider scale.

Are you excited to hit play at midnight?

It’s rumored that at the time of his death, Juice WRLD had over 2,000 unreleased tracks in his vault. What was to be done with the massive collection of music hadn’t been decided on as the young rapper’s family, friends, and fans mourned his unexpected passing. There were dozens of artists who considered themselves to be close friends of Juice WRLD who came forward following his death to share their grief. Grade A Productions music executive Lil Bibby saw himself as a mentor to the rising rapper and on Thursday (April 9), he shared a brief video of himself with Juice WRLD.

“Miss my lil bro walking round wit skateboards and sh*t, playing wit Yugio cards and watching Naruto ??‍♂️?? @juicewrld999 #999,” he wrote in the caption to his video. He reportedly added in the comments, “Album Coming soon????.” This comes a little over a week since Juice’s girlfriend, Ally Lotti, previewed his posthumous single.

Juice previously revealed to XXL why he decided to ink a deal with Grade A Productions. “I decided to sign with Lil Bibby and G Money at Grade A because as far as just where we from and them letting me know like, they made it clear exactly what was gonna happen, the chances of something happening, the chances of something not happening,” he said. “They kept it a hunnid. That’s one of the best choices I probably ever made.” Check out Lil Bibby’s post below and let us know who you would like to see featured on Juice WRLD’s posthumous project.

News struck this week that Frank Ocean is planning on releasing a brand new single to the world, cancelling pre-orders for the "Little Demon" vinyl and replacing it with an unreleased track. Perhaps the reclusive star is also working on contributing to the first posthumous album released by Juice WRLD. Or, at least that's what Lil Bibby is hoping for.

The head of Juice WRLD's label Grade A Productions, Lil Bibby, just sent out a public call for Frank Ocean to sing on the upcoming posthumous album by late 21-year-old Juice WRLD. The Chicago star passed away in December 2019 of a drug overdose and, since then, his team has announced that unreleased music will eventually find its way onto streaming services. While there remains no release date for Juice WRLD's first posthumous project, Bibby is not making it a secret that he wants the sweet, soothing tones of Frank Ocean's voice on there.
