Biography
Gustav Elijah Åhr, professionally known as Lil Peep, was an American rapper and singer-songwriter born November 1, 1996, to an American mother and Swedish father. Raised on Long Island after birth in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he began producing music on SoundCloud in 2013 under the name Trap Goose before adopting "Lil Peep"—a childhood nickname his mother used. His breakthrough arrived in 2015 with the single "Star Shopping," followed by mixtapes Lil Peep; Part One and Live Forever that same year. In 2016, he released widely acclaimed mixtapes Crybaby and Hellboy while joining the hip-hop collective GothBoiClique, solidifying his role as a leading figure in emo rap. His first live performance occurred February 12, 2016, with Schemaposse in Tucson, Arizona; later that year he toured with Fat Nick and Smokepurpp. By spring 2017, Lil Peep had embarked on his first solo tour across Russia, western Europe, and the United States, later recording his EP Goth Angel Sinner in London. His debut studio album Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 released in August 2017, marking a shift from his mixtapes' emo-trap blend toward pop-punk and rap rock. His second album, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 in 2018. As a singer, Peep recorded and performed live across multiple continents, blending melodic vulnerability with contemporary production. He died November 15, 2017, on his tour bus in Tucson from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and alprazolam before a scheduled performance. Rolling Stone later wrote he "could have been his generation's Kurt Cobain," and the 2019 documentary Everybody's Everything chronicled his legacy.
