Gustav Elijah Ã…hr (November 1, 1996 â€" November 15, 2017), known
professionally as Lil Peep (often stylized as LiL PEEP), was an
American rapper, singer, songwriter and model. He was a member of the
emo rap collective GothBoiClique. Helping pioneer an emo revival style
of rap and rock music, Lil Peep has been credited as the leading
figure of the midâ€"late 2010s emo rap scene and came to be an
inspiration to outcasts and youth subcultures.Born in Allentown,
Pennsylvania, and raised on Long Island, New York, Lil Peep started
releasing music on SoundCloud in 2014, using the pseudonym Lil Peep
because his mother had called him "Peep" since he was a child. He soon
became popular on the platform for his collaborations with Lil Tracy
and several mixtapes: Lil Peep; Part One (2015), Live Forever (2015),
Crybaby (2016) and Hellboy (2016); the latter's success led him to his
first solo tour across the United States.Soon after the tour, Lil Peep
emigrated to London, England, where he recorded his debut studio
album. While his mixtapes explored emo, trap, lo-fi and alternative
rock, his debut album Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 (2017) was a
transition into pop punk and rap rock. His second album Come Over When
You're Sober, Pt. 2 (2018) was a commercial and critical success,
debuting at number four on the Billboard 200. The documentary film
about him, Everybody's Everything, was released in 2019.
