A brand-new posthumous collaboration between Juice WRLD and Cordae has officially dropped — and it’s already making headlines.
Titled “Doomsday,” the track marks the first single from Lyrical Lemonade’s upcoming debut album, LL1, set to release later this year. The highly anticipated song brings together the lyrical brilliance of Juice WRLD and Grammy-nominated rapper Cordae, creating a standout moment for hip-hop fans.
A Tribute to Hip-Hop Icons
“Doomsday” is built around the iconic beat from Eminem’s “Role Model,” originally produced by Dr. Dre. The track even opens with Eminem’s unforgettable intro from the song:
“Okay, I’m going to attempt to drown myself. You can try this at home. You can be just like me.”
Adding another layer of intrigue, the music video features an AI deepfake of Eminem, creating a nostalgic throwback that connects hip-hop eras in a unique way.
Directed by Cole Bennett
As expected, Cole Bennett — founder of Lyrical Lemonade — directed the visually captivating video. Known for his signature style, Bennett uses cutting-edge visuals and cinematic transitions to blend Juice WRLD and Cordae’s performances, even digitally transforming one into the other throughout the video.
Leading up to the release, Bennett and Cordae teased the track with cryptic social media posts and a short film titled “whyrush?”, adding to the excitement surrounding the single.
A Powerful Collaboration That Honors Juice WRLD’s Legacy
“Doomsday” stands as a testament to Juice WRLD’s enduring impact on music. His introspective lyrics and distinctive sound continue to resonate — especially when paired with Cordae’s sharp wordplay and poetic delivery.
Together, they create a track that blends emotion, lyrical complexity, and high-level artistry — all set to a legendary beat.
