Legends (Juice Wrld song)

"Legends" is a song by American rapper Juice Wrld. It was released as the second single from his EP Too Soon.. on June 22, 2018, three days after the EP's release. The song is an homage to two deceased rappers – Lil Peep, who died by overdose on November 15, 2017, and XXXTentacion, a friend of Juice Wrld's who was murdered on June 18, 2018. After his death in 2019, the song's lyrics were re-contextualized by critics and fans as a prediction of his own fate.[1]

Background

The song is dedicated to Lil Peep, who died from a drug overdose in November 2017, and XXXTentacion, who was murdered a day before Too Soon..'s release.[2][3]

After Juice Wrld died from a drug overdose on December 8th 2019 at age 21, the song gained further notoriety due to the lyric, "What's the 27 Club? / We ain't making it past 21."[4]

The song initially peaked at 65 in 2018. However, following Juice Wrld's death, the song re-entered the chart and peaked at 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the chart dated December 21, 2019.[5]

"Legends", alongside "Rich and Blind", the other song on the two-track EP they came from, were later added to Juice Wrld's second posthumous album Fighting Demons on March 18, 2022, alongside the newly released song "Sometimes".[6]
