On July 10, Interscope Records released Juice WRLD's posthumous "Legends Never Die."

The American rapper, known for his "Lucid Dreams",died from a seizure on December 8, 2019, shortly after his 21st birthday.

The album includes 21 tracks with songs such as "Wishing Well" and "Come & Go (with Marshmello)" currently the most streamed tracks from the album.

"On July 6, before the album's release, a statement was released via Juice WRLD's Twitter.

"The album shines a light on the collaborators that meant so much to Juice and deeply impacted his musical process," the Tweet read.

Artists who collaborated on the album include Trippie Redd, Marshmello, The Kid Laroi and Halsey

Juice WRLD continued in the Tweet, "Juice dedicated his music to his fans and, now more than ever, we hope this album brings some reprieve to everyone during these unsettling times."

Other artists who have released posthumous albums include but are not limited to Mac Miller, John Lennon, The Notorious B.I.G., Prince and Amy Winehouse.

Posthumous albums can stir an array of emotions, and according to Springfield musician Brat Pitt, can feel a bit strange.

"I never particularly enjoy a posthumous album because I feel the disingenuousness of that record company or whoever is forcing this art to be out there," Pitt said.

Pitt said his main problem with posthumous albums is they are often scraps or throwaway tracks passed off as "undiscovered gems," but he said he does not feel that is the case with Juice WRLD's album.

"Something about 'Legends Never Die' makes it feel like a regular Juice release, and it serves as a really nice last memorial for this talented Black artist," Pitt said.

Pitt said his favorite songs are "Blood On My Jeans" and "Tell Me U Luv Me" with Trippie Redd.

Missouri State senior Tyanna NaShea said she enjoys posthumous albums because it allows fans to hear what an artist would have released.

Juice WRLD depicted his struggle with mental health and prescription drug abuse in his lyrics, prominent in "Lucid Dreams," with lines such as, "I take prescriptions to make me feel a-okay."

"I loved the album and how they included 'The Man, The Myth, The Legend,' in which they had other big names (in music) talk about how talented Juice was," NaShea said.

NaShea said her favorite track on the album is "Man Of The Year" because of the line, "I know my lyrics saved you," and said she feels this album was crucial for fans.

"Legends Never Die" is available now on streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
