Juice WRLD's final and third posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, was delivered to streaming platforms yesterday (November 29) via Lil Bibby's record label Grade A Productions.
Close friend and business executive Lil Bibby has been at the forefront of projects and singles delivered to Juice's fanbase since the late rapper's untimely death in 2019.

The album drop also coincides with the rapper's debut on Fortnite today (November 30), where hit records from his discography will be played live on the popular Battle Royale online game.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stones, Bibby explained how Juice's The Party Never Ends album was being released as a celebration of his life and legacy, explaining:
"I think it just feels right to just end it on a high note like this. I know he’s got a ton of leaked records, but I think it feels right to end it like this with the Fortnite party, with the United Center party and make it a celebration."
Since Juice's passing, leakers have taken to platforms like Reddit and Discord to share and crowdfund releases of the late rapper's vaulted music. Regularly supplying his fanbase with never-heard-before recordings and demos, many fans claimed these records were included on TPNE.
During the album's conception, information leaked online that Juice WRLD's friend and engineer, Max Lord, was initially in charge of putting together a tracklist for The Party Never Ends. His version of the LP supposedly included tracks recorded in 2018-2019.
Allegations now suggest that a reported fallout between Max and Juice WRLD's record label, Grade A Productions, resulted in Benny Blanco being made the director and producer in charge of The Party Never Ends.
Several fans took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to share their grievances with Juice WRLD's final album, with one individual claiming Benny shouldn't have been put in charge of The Party Never Ends.
Multiple reactions to TPNE have started to surface suggesting similar issues with the album's production and tracklist.
"WE NEED TPNE MAXLORD VERSION TO DROP," a user shares an alleged screenshot of Max Lord's version of TPNE.
"I been tryna be positive and just enjoy the music because they did at least do better than I thought they would, but f**k that Max tracklist is so good. Such a layup, idk why they make the choices they do," a Juice WRLD fan shared.
"Benny Blanco must have screwed this up on purpose, it's unbelievable, the song Best Friend has bad audio and Juice's voice sounds like a child playing with a voice mod," another claimed.
"Benny Blanco has committed a war crime. It would be interesting to hear Max’s version do the album tbh," a fan stated.
Several individuals were seen commenting under a repost from Drama Alert, who claimed that Juice WRLD fans were unhappy with TPNE's release.
Some highlighted their appreciation for the posthumous album, while simultaneously agreeing that The Party Never Ends was "outdated" and not compiled well.
"I understand both views on it. On the one hand, the label is always dropping depressing songs or outdated ones, but it's still a good album. I think what people mean to say is they never really compile the songs into a theme, as opposed to Juice's first 2 albums he made himself," an individual explained.
"They could’ve picked better leaks. They put out a song from 2018 that leaked in 2018 called Jeffery. And two of the songs were stems and sounded like AI? You're telling me out of 2000 unreleased they HAD to go with that???," a Juice WRLD fan shared.
"Who y’all need to be mad at is leakers. Because if none of y’all would have heard these songs and waited... Y’all would feel better about it, but I listened to the leaks and I’m just happy they got an official release," a grateful fan stated.
"They gonna say we always hate on everything but as someone that appreciates everything that comes out for [Juice] and appreciates what we did get, they could have done way better. Max was meant for this and like DJ Scheme said himself Benny wasn’t the man for the job at all," another claimed.
Juice WRLD's manager reportedly confirms The Party Never Ends' Deluxe will drop soon
Three hours following TPNE's official release to streaming services, media outlets across social media platforms were found reporting on a potential Deluxe version of the late rapper's final album.
Popular internet media outlet, NFR Podcast, shared a post to X seemingly confirming The Party Never Ends Deluxe will be "coming soon".
The post contains a screenshot of what appears to be from a Juice WRLD discord community, where the late rapper's manager Peter Jideonwo, can be seen encouraging fans to vote on which records will make the tracklist for TPNE (Deluxe).
The Deluxe will seemingly include 10 new tracks, which will be selected and voted upon by Juice's fanbase, bringing the LP's official tracklist up to 28 full-length records.
Jideonwo addressed Juice WRLD's vaulted records being leaked during his interview with Rolling Stones, alongside Lil Bibby, where he explained:
"It's getting to the point where you damn well know some of the people leaking the music and you got to work with them. If not, they’re going to leak more music. You don’t really have proof that they leak the music, but you know they might be leaking the music."
Juice WRLD's The Party Never Ends officially follows up on his 2021 posthumous album, Fighting Demons, which peaked at No.2 on Billboard 200.
