Lil Peep Lyrics - Discography
Gustav Elijah Åhr (born November 1, 1996 - November 15, 2017) was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States. He is an American rapper, singer and songwriter . He is professionally known as Lil Peep, left an indelible mark on the music scene, particularly in the mid–late 2010s emo rap movement. Lil Peep's musical journey began under the alias "Trap Goose" on SoundCloud in 2013. However, it was under the name Lil Peep, a childhood nickname given by his mother, that he gained widespread recognition.
His breakthrough came with the 2015 single "Star Shopping," signaling the start of a prolific career. Lil Peep's unique blend of emo, trap, lo-fi, and alternative rock resonated with a diverse audience. Notable releases such as the mixtapes "Crybaby" and "Hellboy" in 2016 solidified his status as a pivotal figure in the evolving landscape of emo rap.
In 2017, Lil Peep embarked on a solo tour, captivating audiences across Russia, Europe, and the United States. Following the tour, he relocated to London, where he recorded the EP "Goth Angel Sinner." August of that year saw the release of his debut studio album, "Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1," showcasing a transition into pop punk and rap rock.
Tragically, on November 15, 2017, Lil Peep's promising career was cut short when he passed away on his tour bus just two weeks after his 21st birthday. The Pima County medical examiner's office attributed his untimely death to an accidental overdose of fentanyl and Xanax. The music world mourned the loss of a visionary artist, with some recognizing him as a potential generational icon akin to Kurt Cobain. In 2018, his posthumous album, "Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2," debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, further solidifying Lil Peep's enduring impact on contemporary music. A poignant documentary, "Everybody's Everything," released in 2019, shed light on his life and the profound influence he had on his fans and the music industry.
