Lil Peep: A Look Back at His Life, Legacy, and Continued Influence [Where Are They Now?]

Photo: Kristyna Archer “The Kurt Cobain of Lo-Fi Rap.” “The Future of Emo.” “Gustav Elijah Åhr.” However you may remember Lil Peep, it is difficult to deny what he meant to both music and culture. In his short time on earth, Lil Peep released two albums, one posthumously on Nov. 9, as well as a slew of mixtapes and EPs. Despite his limited discography, which only spanned the course of three years, Lil Peep left a lasting cultural impact and void that is still felt by his legions of fans a year after his death. For a host of kids, Lil Peep was not just a critically-acclaimed vehicle for the next wave in emo, but a voice who touched upon the very real pain that comes with just existing in today’s day and age. In honor of Lil Peep, his life, his legacy, and the influence he continues to exert a year after his death, we look back at rise of Lil Peep.

Born Gustav Elijah Åhr in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to two Harvard graduates, the way in which Lil Peep recounted his upbringing was what you may expect from an artist championed as a pioneer in the next wave of emo. In what was to be one of his last interviews, he shared that his childhood was largely defined by drug abuse and apathy. Raised by an absent father and his mother Liza Womack, who Åhr on more than one occasion has referred to as his best friend, the to-be sadboy icon’s early life likely didn’t differ much from that of most of his fans.

The dreary, near-permanent fog of Long Beach, New York, served as the melancholic backdrop of Åhr’s school days. He may have rarely attended school, dropping out of high school in favor earning his diploma via online classes, but he did receive good grades throughout his entire time in school, including landing on the dean’s list for the one semester he tried his hand at college. It likely was not the case that Åhr was a kid who viewed the world as a monotonous grey, dropping out of school for the pure sake of it. Rather, he likely viewed the world as a myriad of colors and possibilities but did not see that potential reality reflected in the confines of Long Beach or a textbook.

Photo: Almost Decent Like many kids of his generation, Åhr was a self-proclaimed loner that would find a sense of kinship not in his immediate surroundings, but in the music and the respective underground community he found scouring the Internet. Intent on making his own mark on the scene and not being just a spectator, Åhr would get his first face tattoo at the age of 17 (a broken heart below his left eye) as a means to motivate himself to pursue what, at-the-time, was a budding rap career. Shortly thereafter, he would move to Los Angeles under the pseudonym Lil Peep–a name inspired by his Mother, who referred to him as “Peep” throughout his whole life.

Lil Peep’s move to Los Angeles was not met with immediate fame and success, going in and out of homelessness while living on Skidrow. It was not until he met Florida rapper Craig Xen, who he originally first spoke to online, that Lil Peep’s vision began to take form. Alongside fellow Florida rapper Ghostemane and Memphis producer JGRXXN, the four of them would form the collective Schemaposse.

Photo: Jonathan Weiner It was surrounding this time that Lil Peep would release his first mixtape, 2015’s Lil Peep Part One, which was quickly followed-up his first EP, Feelz, and the sophomore mixtape, Live Forever. The series of releases, with their influences in post-hardcore and southern rap, began making traction online and would result in Lil Peep’s first live performance in Tucson, Arizona, in March 2016. A year later, in November of 2017, Lil Peep would be found dead in his tour bus before a headlining show that was set take place in, again, Tucson, Arizona.

Musically, the rise of Lil Peep was meteoric to say the least. In the matter of just over a year, he went from SoundCloud rapper to one of the most contentious and applauded figures in music. Releasing two more mixtapes, Crybaby and Hellboy, following the breakup of Schemaposse and linking up with the rap collective Gothboiclique, the latter release would earn Lil Peep his biggest break yet. Racking up plays in the millions on SoundCloud and Youtube, Hellboy would serve as the catalyst to bring the SoundCloud rapper out of the underground and on his first-ever solo tour across the US, ‘The Lil Peep Show.’

The end of ‘The Lil Peep Show’ would see Åhr emigrate to London, following a fallout with Gothboiclique. During his time in London, Lil Peep would record Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2, and Goth Angel Sinner, which was to be followed by his first world tour. The tour started in the UK in Sept. 2017 and abruptly ended in November in Tucson, Arizona, following an accidental overdose of fentanyl and Xanax.

The untimely death of Lil Peep sent a ripple throughout the music community, as artists, fans, and critics poured out messages and tributes to the late rapper. The void left by Lil Peep was and, to this day, is felt by the way people continue to rabidly consume his music. The artist’s fanbase and popularity exploded following his death, earning Lil Peep his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 for the single “Awful Things,” from Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1. More than a year since his death, and fans new and old alike still avidly worship Lil Peep and the music he left behind as a new age gospel of emo.

youtube

The artist currently racks up over 17-million monthly listeners on Spotify. His posthumous release Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2, which was released earlier in November and debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200, still sounds like it is brazenly charting a new path in emo, despite being recorded over a year prior. Lil Peep was and remains a visionary pioneer in the next wave of emo.

In spite of his death, the story of Lil Peep continues to unfold. His mother, and aforementioned best friend, is currently busy overseeing a number of her late son’s posthumous releases. Family-friend and arthouse film visionary Terrence Malick is in the midst of executive producing a documentary about the late rapper. Lil Peep’s sound and influence are felt in the music of artists such as Juice WRLD, who penned a tribute to Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION in his song “Legends.” Most of all though, Lil Peep lives on in the hearts and playlists of a new generation–a generation affected by his vulnerable and unapologetic music.

DISCO GODFATHER (ORIGINAL 1979 MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK BY JUICE PEOPLE UNLIMITED) on STRANGE DISC RECORDS.

In 1979, inspired by the massive success of both “Saturday Night Fever” and “The Godfather” movies, shock comedian Rudy Ray Moore created DISCO GODFATHER, as a black-POV parody of the disco phenomenon. Disco Godfather is a classic Blaxploitation movie about an ex-cop, with a talent for both martial arts and jive, who sets out to fight the PCP epidemic taking over his neighborhood. Directed by J. Robert Wagoner, the film is starring Rudy Ray Moore (who also co-produced the film) and established genre actress Carol Speed.

Already a legendary X-rated comedy star by the 1970’s, Rudy Ray Moore later transitioned into movies. With the money he earned performing at clubs he financed DOLEMITE (1975) which would turn out to be his most iconic and successful film. Moore returned to performing stand-up during the ’80s and ’90s and gained a new fan base when rappers like Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes began sampling his records and hailing him as “the Godfather of Rap” for his use of rhymes in dialogue. In 2018 (10 years after Moore’s death), it was announced that Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow) would direct the upcoming biographical-dramedy “Dolemite Is My Name “about Rudy Ray Moore. The Netflix film will star Eddie Murphy as Rudy, other cast members will include Wesley Snipes and Chris Rock.

Every cool film needs a cool soundtrack, so the movie’s producers turned to the band “Juice People Unlimited” to crank out a funky disco flavor bomb. This studio band consisted of many noted musicians, including legendary drummer James Gadsen (one of the most recorded drummers in R&B music, having played on hundreds of hit records); bass player David Shields (Smokey Robinson, Patti Labelle, Gloria Gaynor); guitarist Paul Jackson Jr. (The Temptations, The Pointer Sisters, Bobby Womack); guitarist Wali Ali (Rick James, Marvin Gaye) & percussionist Melvin Webb (The Gap Band, Janet Jackson). The funky tunes on this album were written and arranged by the legendary Ernie Fields Jr., recognized for his baritone sax work with such iconic artists as Marvin Gaye, Rick James and Freddie Hubbard. Fields’ other credits include working as a session musician for (as well as touring with) Fred Wesley in the 1990s … and more recently his involvement as a music contractor for American Idol, The Voice and X Factor.

Delivering four lengthy tracks (including trippy sound effects and slurry nasally vocals), the band succeeds in capturing the essence of the movies’ message and concept perfectly. With distinct nods to the drug hallucination sequences depicted in the film, the repetitive funky disco groove reflects a state of trance that fits the imagery on the film like a glove.

The original (and never before reissued) 1979 vinyl soundtrack has become a highly sought-after album due to its incredibly high caliber of respected studio performers and collaborators. Collectors will shelve out a hefty amount for an original copy. Strange Disc Records now proudly presents a deluxe vinyl reissue (1000 copies) containing an insert with unseen pictures and extensive & exclusive liner notes. Released exclusively for Record Store Day (UK & Europe) 2019, available in participating stores on April 13.

Exclusive: listen to this gritty, soulful track “Shotgun Safari” from The O’Jays and the new crime flick Dragged Across Concrete.

Lakeshore Records will release "Dragged Across Concrete—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" digitally on all platforms and on CD at the Lakeshore Webshop on March 22. Vinyl release forthcoming on Invada Records. Pre-order here.

Dragged Across Concrete was directed by S. Craig Zahler (Brawl in Cell Block 99, Bone Tomahawk), which stars Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, and Tory Kittles. It is the grandest of Zahler's violent, measured, and character-driven genre films. The film's music has an authentic soul sound, stylistically spanning late '60s to early '80s, composed and produced by Jeff Herriott and Zahler and enlisting the vocal talent that appeared to great effect on the Brawl in Cell Block 99 soundtrack – soul icons Butch Tavares and The O'Jays featuring Eddie Levert and Walter Williams and newcomer Adi Armour. The film will be released in theaters March 22 via Unified Pictures and Cinestate.

Zahler is an award-winning screenwriter, director, novelist, cinematographer, and musician. He wrote, directed, and co-composed the score for the 2015 film Bone Tomahawk, an Independent Spirit Award nominated picture (Best Screenplay; Best Supporting Actor) starring Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, and Richard Jenkins. The film garnered praise from critics and fans alike, including the New York Times, who called Bone Tomahawk, "[a] witty fusion of western, horror and comedy that gallops to its own beat".

Zahler more recently wrote and directed Brawl In Cell Block 99, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, starring Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, and Don Johnson, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and also went onto critical acclaim. Both movies were added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2017.

Zahler's debut western novel, "A Congregation of Jackals", was nominated for the Peacemaker and the Spur awards, and his 2014 novels "Mean Business on North Ganson Street" and "Corpus Chrome, Inc." both received starred reviews for excellence in Booklist.

Zahler's newest book is "Hug Chickenpenny: The Panegyric of an Anomalous Child", a gothic tale that he will bring to the silver screen with the help of his new creative partners (check out a free preview of the novel here), The Jim Henson Company. After reading this strange story, Clive Baker declared, "S. Craig Zahler is certain to become one of the great imaginers of our time."

In addition to writing and directing, Zahler has founded and played in several bands, including the doomy epic metal outfit Realmbuilder, whose albums have been released by I Hate Records of Sweden. With longtime friend and songwriting partner Jeff Herriott, Zahler co-composed the orchestral score for Bone Tomahawk, and the soul music for Brawl In Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete as well as the jazz compositions for the latter. Zahler and Herriott also make music as Binary Reptile, a synthesizer project that provided the music for the "ear movie", The Narrow Caves.

Dragged Across Concrete is the story of two police detectives (Gibson & Vaughn) who find themselves suspended after a video of their strong-arm tactics is leaked to the media. In another part of town, a felon (Kittles) is released from prison and discovers that his family is about to be evicted. With little money and no options, all three men descend into the criminal underworld, where danger awaits them in shadows.

Says Zahler: "For the third time in four years, I worked with composer, professor, and my long-time friend Jeff Herriott on the soundtrack for a movie that I also wrote and directed.  This time, the picture was to have absolutely zero score, and all of the music would be sourced from radios and stereos within the fictional world.

"After our terrific experiences on Brawl in Cell Block 99 with soul legends, The O'Jays and Butch Tavares, as well as the great Wisconsin talent, Adi Armour, we had a better idea what we could achieve.  Additionally, this new movie called for a wider variety of soul tunes.  'Street Corner Felines' (sung by The O'Jays) displays the darker and funkier grooves of our songwriting heroes, Bobby Womack and Willie Hutch as does the propulsive and up tempo predator entitled, 'Shotgun Safari'.  'Don't Close the Drive In' (sung by Butch Tavares) is a lush and melancholic orchestral soul piece that The Stylistics might have performed at the start of the seventies, and 'My Magic Tricks' (sung by Adi Armour) is a funky and rockin' dance tune in the vein of D Train and The Isley Brothers. Working with these stellar singers on our own original compositions was a longtime dream fulfilled."

"I had tossed memory and dream together, a dizzy tumble like clothes in a dryer, the feeling of flight itself when I would grab handfuls of air, reach for support and pull back nothing, and struggle to place a foot on something solid until my body grew accustomed to floating, relaxing and riding on wind current alone. Lately, I had started flying to new places, gave up my childhood hovering for touching down on arrival. The flights had become mere transportation, to and from, though I now chose to believe the reality of the earlier days, when my feet could actually leave the earth; the weightlessness, wind in my hair, places I'd known passing beneath me, the burning weight that pressed me down left far below. I knew, full well, what I had felt, what I had seen, the importance of remembering, of believing." - Drowning in Fire, Craig S. Womack
