“Lace It,” a new song featuring Benny Blanco, was dropped by Juice Wrld and Eminem

Eminem has hopped on a new Juice WRLD track to honor some of Hip Hop’s fallen soldiers who tragically succumbed to substance abuse — something he struggled with himself back in the day.

On Saturday (December 16), Slim Shady shared some of his wisdom as a former addict who made it out the other side on the posthumous joint, “Lace It.” Produced by Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, it features a bittersweet verse and hook from the late Chicago rapper followed by Em offering younger artists a word of caution about getting carried away.

The D12 rapper then remembers some of his peers who aren’t with us today, citing them as an example of unfulfilled potential while emphasizing the dangers of Ԁrug abuse. The verse mentions Juice, Shоck G, Lil Peep, Ol’ Ԁirty Bаstаrd, Gangsta Boo, and Pιmp C, as well as Prince and Michael Jackson.

“Fentanyl, Oxy, Demerol/ Them are all what possibly got Shоck G/ Roxicodone and lean is probably what got Lil Peep and ODB/ So many who OD be way too young to go see me,” he continues. “Juice, we will forever miss you/ To the younger generation/ I ain’t lecturin’ you, but, man/ Just be careful…”
