A roughly 69-second studio performance clip under a Juice Unlocked “MUSIC” graphic reading “WRTHL$$ is blowing up after dropping his new emo banger ‘TOXIC WASTE.’” WRTHL$$, in a black graphic T-shirt, tinted glasses and headphones, sings into a studio mic against a teal wall, gesturing and holding his headphones as the camera cuts between angles. The audio is the song itself; the clip fades to black at the end.

Juice Unlocked spotlighted Mission Viejo artist WRTHL$$ on March 13, 2026, after he dropped the emo song “TOXIC WASTE,” and asked OC whether he has what it takes to go mainstream.

Mission Viejo artist WRTHL$$ (@x.wrthlss.x on Instagram) got the Juice Unlocked spotlight on March 13, 2026, after dropping his emo track “TOXIC WASTE.” The post’s cover graphic said he was “blowing up” off the new song, and the caption said he was carving his own lane and starting to make major noise.

The reel was a collaboration post with the artist’s own account and was tagged in Mission Viejo. It drew 1,142 likes and 232 comments.

The clip

The roughly 69-second video is a studio performance. WRTHL$$, with bleached hair, face tattoos and tinted glasses, sings into a mic in over-ear headphones, pressing them to his head as the camera cuts between angles in front of a teal wall.

The song itself is a slow, melodic breakup track built around regret and a relationship that went bad. The post credits @thelsdp.

The post did not give a release date, streaming links or play counts behind the “blowing up” claim.

So, OC: does WRTHL$$ have the potential to go mainstream?
