Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" Explained | Song Stories

Chicago rapper Juice WRLD has been releasing music since 2015, but it’s just in the past few months that he’s started to pop up on the wider hip-hop radar. With a name inspired by the 1992 2Pac film 'Juice' and a list of influences ranging from Chief Keef to Kid Cudi to Fall Out Boy, the 19-year-old MC inked a reported $3 million deal with Interscope in March. He also linked up with Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett for a pair of music videos that have built a strong buzz online.

[@Tyflerghen]

Juice Wrld has been a favorite of mine for a good 6 or 7 months now, followed him on soundcloud at 5k followers, so I've been ecstatic to watch his whole come up. Huge love to Juice, he's a great talent, and he'll most likely make 2019's freshman list if he keeps up.

[@nellyyy.7632]

I’m in love with this song😍

[@scure8931]

Lucid dreams cant move a thing? Arent lucid dreams the opposite? Like dreams that allow you to controll them?

[@abyssalgodsword]

[@dpeters119]

Where you feel it doesnt mean you can control it

[@Janelledhamilton]

[@Xlousivee]

1:48 RED ROSES NOT STRICTLY BUSINESS

[@jboiibeatz9371]

AK Films nick Mira didnt producer red roses

[@mx20771]

Menoh produced red roses. Lil skies be hitting up Menoh for more beats ever since then

[@sleepy2731]

Juice. Ftw

[@syy7917]

So happy for him💔

[@thealaskanforever]

You don't need to explain lucid dreaming, anyone by the age of 16 who doesn't know what lucid dreaming is clearly uneducated.

[@mxxmm4365]

The uneducated outnumber educated people, just always assume someone is uneducated unless they are proven to be educated

[@Aquwert]

Has nothing to do with education

[@Fluskar]

MXXMM fax

[@ThreeDaysGrace021]

You sound pretty arrogant. Besides what he is talking about sounds very close to experiencing sleep paralysis, just as they mentioned.

[@shany4564]

Well, I have schoolwork and grades to keep up soooo yea. I do wanna learn though. Sounds exciting and yet somewhat scary

[@BlueNovaBeats]

Ironic, I just put up an instrumental similar to Juice WRLD and PARIS.

[@JaydawgYT]

Blue Nova stop trying to promote please

[@BlueNovaBeats]

JayDawgg Na

[@JaydawgYT]

Blue Nova ya

[@doodiedood6784]
