Lil Peep, was an American rapper and singer. He was cited as one of the primary artists responsible for the post-emo revival with his style of hip hop, which came to be known as emo trap. He was born on November 1, 1996 in Pennsylvania and grew up in Long Island, New York. His parents were both Harvard graduates who divorced when he was a teenager. His mother was a first grade teacher and his father was a college professor. Lil Peep attended Long Beach High School in Lido Beach, New York, which he rarely attended in spite of good grades. He later dropped out of the high school and took online courses to earn his diploma. Shortly thereafter, he began posting his music on YouTube and SoundCloud. When Lil Peep was 17, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career in music. He played the trombone and tuba and expressed an interest in music and fashion from a young age. Peep gathered a large cult fan-base and regularly sold out large venues. Peep's music, described as a fusion between hip hop and emo, helped introduce underground hip hop to styles that were more confessional. On November 15, 2017, Lil Peep was found de*d on his tour bus when his manager went to check on him in preparation for that night's performance at a Tucson, Arizona venue.

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 SoundCloud after releasing several mixtapes, including Hellboy (2016), and for his collaborations with Lil Tracy, leading him to gain a cult following. He released his debut album, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 (2017) peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard 200. Lil Peep earned his highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2018 with "Falling Down", featuring XXXTentacion, which peaked at number 13. Lil Peep's second studio album, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 (2018), debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, making it his first US top 10 album.
