Juice WRLD Releases The Pre-Party (Extended)
Includes Long-Lost "Both Ways" and "Cavalier"
New Releases category interest
Today, fans are once again being treated to two long-sought Juice WRLD gems: minimal, melodic “Both Ways” and the darkly booming “Cavalier.” The songs continue an ongoing series, arriving as The Pre-Party (Extended) EP — listen HERE. Additionally, “Both Ways” comes with a video starring and co-directed by Juice friend and collaborator Trippie Redd along with DotComNirvan. Watch HERE.
Blessed with a beat from Juice’s right-hand producer Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice (iann dior, The Kid LAROI, Lil Peep), “Both Ways” is low-slung with a subtly infectious groove. Juice is in his zone, casually shifting rhythms and catching melodies, feeling himself and issuing warnings: “If you're crossing my streets, better look both ways.”
“Cavalier” is special in a different way — fans can still find footage online of Juice recording the song during a 2019 Instagram Live session. Produced by another familiar face, 808 Mafia member Purps (Migos, Chief Keef), with Ian Francis, the track serves up a shadowy mix of moody guitar, skittering drums, and wild adlibs. Juice slays the verse: “They gon’ make me blow my fuse / Got these hatin’ ass b****** and n***** confused / I beat up the rap game, and I give it a bruise / Give ’em black and blues, while I count up the blues.”
Tracklist: The Pre-Party (Extended)
1. Both Ways
2. Cavalier
3. World Tour (Aquafina)
4. Lightyears (with Young Thug)
The Pre-Party (Extended), of course, follows The Pre-Party, which was released at 9am on September 9 — “999,” a cherished number among Juice’s fandom that symbolizes the concept of flipping a bad situation into a positive one. That two-pack included another pair of highly anticipated posthumous tracks, “World Tour (Aquafina)” and “Lightyears” featuring Young Thug. (Listen HERE.) Before that came December’s “Lace It”featuring Eminem and produced by benny blanco, which confronted the highs and lows of drug use — listen HERE.
In April 2020, Juice’s mother Carmela Wallace announced the Live Free 999 Fund, which receives support from individual donors in addition to Grade A and Interscope. Live Free 999 honors the legacy of Ms. Wallace’ son by supporting young people in their battles, and doing so with love, joy, and emotional honesty. Live Free 999 encourages anyone struggling with mental health and addiction to get help. Text LF999 to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line for free crisis counseling.
