Two of hip-hop’s most emotionally raw voices reunite posthumously on “whoa (mind in awe) (Remix),” delivering a track that’s as haunting as it is healing.
We’ve all heard the names XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD—two artists who redefined modern hip-hop by bringing emotional vulnerability to the forefront. Known for their raw honesty and unique styles, both artists left behind legacies built on unfiltered expressions of pain, heartbreak, and mental health struggles.
XXXTENTACION channeled his inner turmoil into music that blended aggressive rap, lo-fi, and alt-rock, speaking openly about depression, trauma, and isolation. Meanwhile, Juice WRLD became a voice for the heartbroken and mentally burdened through his emo-rap freestyles, consistently touching on themes of addiction, anxiety, and love gone wrong.
Their latest posthumous release, “whoa (mind in awe) [Remix],” revisits X’s original 2018 track with a fresh layer: Juice WRLD’s signature melodic flow. The remix doesn’t just sound good—it feels real. It’s calm yet heavy, drenched in emotion and lyrical honesty that speaks to anyone who’s wrestled with inner demons or unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The track’s introspective tone, paired with both artists’ unmistakable authenticity, makes it a deeply moving listen. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this remix is a reminder of why their music continues to resonate years after their passing.
