Fans of Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion are gearing up for an emotional reunion as Juice WRLD’s highly anticipated remix of XXXTentacion’s song “whoa (mind in awe)” is set to be released on May 30. This remix marks a poignant milestone in the music landscape, merging the legacies of two of hip-hop’s most influential voices.
The remix features a newly recorded verse by Juice WRLD, which he laid down in December 2018, just months before his own untimely passing. This special collaboration honors XXXTentacion’s original work from his 2018 album “Skins,” where he left space for a collaborative verse that Juice WRLD fulfilled as a heartfelt tribute to his late friend.
Not only is the release of this remix creating excitement among fans, but it’s also accompanied by a striking visual trailer filmed in Jamaica, celebrating XXXTentacion’s Caribbean heritage and his family’s passion for soccer, adding an emotional layer to its launch.
In an innovative twist, XXXTentacion’s estate has teamed up with Epic Games and JOGO Studios to feature Juice WRLD’s remix within the popular video game Fortnite. This collaboration includes four tracks by XXXTentacion, with the “whoa (mind in awe) (Remix)” set to coincide with a custom XXXTentacion emote launching on May 23. On May 31, Fortnite will host a unique interactive event on its Super Red vs. Blue Island, allowing fans to experience a musical tribute that blends virtual gaming with real-world legacy.
Juice WRLD, who was known for his authentic and emotional music style, had great admiration for XXXTentacion. Their artistic synergy is poignantly showcased in this remix, transforming the track into a symbolic farewell that resonates deeply with their shared audience.
As Juice WRLD’s timeless album “Goodbye & Good Riddance” reaches its seventh anniversary, the timing of the release feels especially meaningful. “whoa (mind in awe) (Remix)” not only revives a never-before-heard collaboration but is also a heartfelt gift to fans who continue to celebrate the impact of both artists.
Set to drop on major streaming platforms on May 30, this remix is poised to resonate across TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, and within Fortnite. It serves as a reminder of the unique contributions both artists made to the hip-hop genre, making this moment one that fans have eagerly awaited.
