CHICAGO (AP) - Rapper Juice WRLD, who launched his career on SoundCloud before becoming a streaming juggernaut and rose to the top of the charts with the Sting-sampled hit “Lucid Dreams,” died early Sunday after a “medical emergency” at Chicago’s Midway International Airport.
The rapper, whose legal name was Jarad A. Higgins, was 21. Authorities have not released details about his cause of death.
He was pronounced dead at a hospital around 3:15 a.m. and taken to the Cook County medical examiner’s office several hours later, according to office spokeswoman Natalia Derevyanny, who said an autopsy would take place Monday.
Chicago police launched a death investigation after a 21-year-old male experiencing a “medical emergency” was transported from Midway to an area hospital. Police said there were no signs of foul play and those aboard the aircraft were cooperating with authorities. Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the man experienced cardiac arrest and was taken to a hospital from a hangar operated by Atlantic Aviation at Midway, away from the main terminal, where private planes land. Atlantic didn’t return a message Sunday.
The rapper, who was named top new artist at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards in May, lived in the Chicago suburb of Homewood where he stood out as a musician early on.
Juice WRLD turned 21 only days earlier. He was only two years out of high school.

If it has one monotone word, is that a "song" or is that rap? I don't know but apparently this was his big hit. I do know that his meds should have been court ordered.
The sequel is interesting as well when he visits Sue after he had become a singer.
NTSB: Reason for occurance undetermined (fuselage fire).

Oh if a man tried to take his time on earth,
and prove before he died what one man’s life could be worth,
I wonder what would happen to this world
worthless mindless crap for music. How in the hell a race that gave the world WC Handy, Nat King Cole, Billie Holliday, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, OJays, Supremes, be stuck on stupid for over 4 decades on this mindless waste of “music” is just proof of the decline of western civilization. Another throw away ghetto trash. Musical talent akin to a used condom. Next gold tooth Dr. Suess wannabe?
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and I see every one.
That’s when I asked her where was that actress She said “That was somebody else” And then I asked her why she looked so happy now She said “I finally like myself, at last I like myself.
WOW You know your stuff. Thanks for the memories.
He gave up cocaine for fentanyl.
... WOW You know your stuff. Thanks for the memories
Got them memorized...
unsubstantiated rumour. Alot of CYA by the pilots and Charter service. Cabin heater most likely the cause.

let’s see - he was a good boy, loved his momma, had an infectious smile and everyone in the neighborhood loved him.

That's a very sad song about being trapped in a drug-fueled nightmare. I wonder if he overdosed.
Dittos to that. Rap/hip hop is among the most horrific sounds (it's NOT "music") on earth, IMO. With extremely rare exceptions.
What did he have on the Clinton’s?
They didn’t like that white people liked their music so they came up with rap. And wouldn’t you know, the white kids liked that, too.
