Juicy J Shares Gangsta Boo Tribute on New Jazz Album ‘Ravenite Social Club’

Posted on by Vaseline

After rapper Juicy J claimed hip-hop sales would drop 40 percent by 2023, he ventured into jazz.

On Tuesday (August 27), the 49-year-old Three 6 Mafia founder released his new album Ravenite Social Clubin which he sings spoken verses on compositions by JR Swift and Robert Glasper.

To accompany his surprise album, Juicy J dropped a music video for the single “To You,” featuring Glasper and singer Emi Seacrest, which sees the Memphis native perform at a jazz club before taking to a street corner with a backing band. The track also serves as a tribute to the late Three 6 Mafia member Gangsta Boo, who died of an accidental overdose in January of last year.

“To You” also centers on Juicy J’s final conversation with Gangsta Boo, in which he raps, “Last time I saw you, you was high, it got bad/You might have been joking, but I couldn’t laugh/I didn’t want to talk about it, ’cause we all grown up/I had a feeling you were finally coming home.”

Juicy J spoke about the passing of his former bandmate on the SiriusXM radio show Sway’s Universe last year, when during their last meeting he predicted that Gangsta Boo would die soon.

“I don’t know where that came from, but I just looked at her like… because I knew she’d been doing it for a long time, so I was like, ‘Damn man. Are you still doing cocaine?'” he said around the 13:30 minute mark of the video below.

He continued: “But I hadn’t seen Boo in a while and so, you know, she’s a grown woman, so I tried not to get into her business… I wish I could have said something. I was like, ‘Fuck.'”

Also seen on Ravenite Social Club is Cordae on the song “Suicide Doors.”
