Release and promotion

edit

In July 2021, Juice Wrld's manager, Lil Bibby, revealed the title of the album and shared what his plan with it would be.[2][3] On February 4, 2023, his estate announced that the album was in active development.[4][5] After teasing the album's release, the lead single of the album, "Lace It", a collaboration with American rapper Eminem and American record producer Benny Blanco, was released on December 16, 2023.[6] A two-track extended play, The Pre-Party, was released as a precursor to the album on September 9, 2024.[7][8] The second and final single of the album, "AGATS2 (Insecure)", a collaboration with Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, was released on November 15, 2024.[9][10] The cover art of the album, which was designed by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami, was revealed on November 21, 2024. Its tracklist was not revealed prior to its release and was a surprise, unlike all of Juice Wrld's previous projects.
