Lil Tecca discussed his hit single Ransom and working with Juice WRLD
In September 2024, Lil Tecca gave an exclusive interview with Billboard, in which he revealed that while recording, he consumed edibles and a Starbucks drink. The 22-year-old shared that he made Ransom without using a beat from YouTube.

"That was my first time hopping on a beat that was not from YouTube. That was my first time ever taking edibles in the studio. I had edibles and a drink from Starbucks," the rapper said.
Sharpe then spoke about working with rapper Juice WRLD on the remix of Ransom. Calling the experience the "craziest," he said Juice WRLD praised his single. Lil Tecca shared that the late rapper's words "meant a lot" to him, as Juice WRLD was the first famous rapper he ever met.
For the unversed, Juice WRLD passed away on December 8, 2019, at Chicago Midway International Airport. As reported by US Weekly on March 31, 2025, the cause of his death was revealed two months after his passing. The 21-year-old rapper had a seizure from an accidental overdose involving oxycodone and codeine.
"That right there was one of the craziest moments ever. I remember when I first met him he was like, 'Ay bro, this flow hard.' That was my first time ever meeting someone that I seen online that was going crazy at the time and actually gave me an opinion on my music... It really meant a lot, bro," Lil Tecca stated.
Furthermore, the Dopamine rapper praised Juice WRLD, saying he recorded his verse in one take. It "fried" Lil Tecca, as he was accustomed to rapping by reading verses from his phone.
"All the stuff he would say to me and actually seeing him work. Seeing it. Seeing it in person though — it was crazy… He did the verse. He did it in one take. It kind of fried me because I didn't really know people were doing stuff like that at the time. I was really used to writing sh*t and reading it off my phone," he said.
Dopamine was released on June 13, 2025, as a follow-up to the rapper's 2024 album, Plan A. Rapper and record producer Ken Carson is featured on the track Tic Tac Toe.
