Death Race for Love was rapper Juice WLRD’s last full-length release before his death in 2019. It defies any one genre, and this makes taking a listen a uniquely interesting experience. Death Race was also heavy in freestyle; reportedly, very little of the album was fully written ahead of the recording sessions. As a result, its emotions are often raw and vulnerable, showcasing internal struggles with relationships and addictions. Some argue that the album feels overfilled. At 72 minutes in length, it is quite long. But it is also packed with some of his absolute best work, likely a result of the difficult events in his life leading up to his death. It has plenty of catchy hooks, thoughtful lyrics and emotional honesty to keep listeners engaged for its duration. Among rap, and even among Juice’s collection, this album stands out as one of the most proficient of all time. As a genre-topping work, it is worth a listen for anyone interested in new music of any variety. I give it five stars.
