The Making Of Juice WRLD's "Legends" With Take A Daytrip | Deconstructed

Chicago rapper Juice WRLD was deeply affected by the murder of his musical inspiration XXXTentacion in June, and expressed his feelings about the loss with a two-song EP titled ‘Too Soon...’ The opening track “Legends” has struck a chord with fans, entering the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 65. It’s produced by New York-based duo Take A Daytrip and features Juice WRLD memorializing both XXXTentacion and Lil Peep, who died of a drug overdose last November.

Actually a lot of the guitar loops you hear on popular rap songs these days are coming from real guitars. More and more producers are using actual guitar players for guitar melodies, mainly cuz vsts can’t capture the essence of a real guitar.
