by Daryl Nelson

December 8, 2020 will mark the one-year anniversary of Juice Wrld's. He passed away from an accidental drug overdose in Oak Lawn, Illinois at 21.

Lil Durk, who like Juice Wrld is from Chicago, said the late rapper and singer could've been the next Kanye West if he didn't pass away, just based on his talent. [Head to the 4:31 mark].

"I rock with him 1000%. [He] was an icon," Durk told Montreality. "I'm not just saying that because of what happened to him. He had an advantage to be, like, the next Kanye West coming out of Chicago because he was smart. His personality was crazy. You know what I'm saying? Music genius. He'd go in that motherf*cker and freestyle. You know how you go in the studio with somebody and he's going crazy and even your team is like, 'oh sh*t, you gotta go crazy.' They're putting pressure on me. I damn near forgot who the f*ck I was for a minute."

How big do you think Juice WRLD could've been if he hadn't passed?
