BTS’s SUGA In Fighting Demons
BTS’ Suga will be featured in the b side track ‘Girl of My Dreams,’ according to the full tracklist for ‘Fighting Demons,’ which was revealed on December 9. Suga is teaming up with rapper Juice WRLD for the second time.
Suga and RM of BTS collaborated with Juice WRLD for the ‘BTS WORLD’ OST ‘All Night’ in June of this year. RM produced the song, which was described as a “moderate tempo hip hop song with a 90’s chill vibe.” It’s the third single from the OST for ‘BTS WORLD.’
Justin Bieber, Polo G, Trippie Redd, and Suga from BTS make guest appearances on the album, which has 18 tracks.
Slim Shady on Fighting Demons
“Eminem Speaks” is the sixth track on the album. Over a chill beat, Slim Shady will most likely say a few words about Juice WRLD.
This type of thing has happened in the past. Juice’s first posthumous album, Legends Never Die, featuring Eminem. On an interlude track titled “The Man, The Myth, The Legend,” Em spoke with Kxng Crooked about the young talent.
“Shout out to Juice as well, man; that kid was incredible.” What the f**k was that freestyle he did on Westwood for an hour? He mastered that f**king quickly for someone so young. It’s extremely depressing. Eminem says, “His potential was off the charts.”
