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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
