XXXTentacion Juice WRLD’s Remix of “whoa (mind in awe)” in Time for Fortnite’s X Takeover

Fans of Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion are about to witness a bittersweet reunion of two of the most iconic voices in modern hip-hop. Juice WRLD’s long-awaited remix of XXXTentacion’s track “whoa (mind in awe)” is finally set to drop on May 30, marking an emotionally charged moment in music history that bridges legacy and love.

The remix, built on the ethereal foundation laid by XXXTentacion on his 2018 album Skins, features a newly released verse recorded by Juice WRLD in December 2018—just months before his tragic passing in December 2019. According to an official press release, X left the track with an open verse intended for collaboration, which Juice WRLD completed privately as a tribute to his late friend.

This intensely personal project, brought to life by both artists’ estates, is poised to dominate streaming platforms. The announcement came alongside a stunning visual trailer shot in Jamaica, celebrating XXXTentacion’s Caribbean roots and his family’s love of soccer, adding cultural depth and emotional resonance to the remix’s release.

Fortnite Joins the Tribute

The tribute doesn’t stop at music. In a groundbreaking collaboration, XXXTentacion’s estate has partnered with Epic Games and JOGO Studios to integrate four of his tracks, including Juice WRLD’s remix of the track “whoa (mind in awe)”, into Fortnite gameplay. Among these tracks is the “whoa (mind in awe) (Remix),” which will sync with the launch of a custom XXXTentacion Emote inside Fortnite on May 23 at 8 p.m. ET.

But that’s not all: On Saturday, May 31, Fortnite will host an interactive, one-of-a-kind event inside the game’s Super Red vs. Blue Island, offering fans an immersive tribute to the late rapper, blending virtual reality with real-life legacy.

Legacy Lives On

Juice WRLD, whose own career soared on the wings of vulnerability, melody, and raw emotion, was a known admirer of XXXTentacion. Their spiritual and sonic synergy resonates powerfully in this remix. It’s a track that not only revives a never-before-heard collaboration but also serves as a symbolic farewell from two of the genre’s most impactful young stars.

As Juice WRLD’s album Goodbye & Good Riddance marks its seventh anniversary, the timing of this remix couldn’t be more poetic. The track stands as a celebration of their artistic legacies and a gift to fans who continue to mourn their losses while cherishing their influence.

“whoa (mind in awe) (Remix)” promises haunting production, heartfelt lyrics, and a synergy that reminds fans just how much both artists changed the sound of hip-hop forever. Set to drop on all major platforms this Friday, May 30, the remix is expected to make massive waves across TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, and Fortnite.

This isn’t just a song—it’s a moment. And for fans of Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion, it’s one worth waiting for.
