benny blanco, Juice WRLD – Graduation (Official Music Video)

Benny Blanco is a hugely successful producer who’s constantly in demand for producing top-tier artists, and he also thrives as a solo artist.

His track “Graduation” was released in 2019 as a collaboration with the late Juice WRLD, and as the title suggests, it’s a straight-up graduation song.

Juice WRLD’s delicate vocals are heartbreakingly poignant, and if you listen closely, you’ll notice the song samples Vitamin C’s classic graduation anthem “Graduation (Friends Forever).” In that sense, it’s a rock-solid graduation song, and its lyrics—packed with a heartfelt message about never forgetting the time spent together and staying friends forever—are truly moving.

Be sure to check out the story-driven music video as well!
