In December of 2015, LiL PEEP dropped his first full project titled LiL PEEP PART ONE on SoundCloud and Bandcamp. It wasn't until his most recent release for HELLBOY where he began really gaining traction. As of Jan. 2017, the project has over 8.8M collective plays on his Soundcloud account. LiL PEEP is described by Pitchfork as "the fresh-faced avatar of post-emo angst that’s not quite rap or rock. Instead, it falls into a grey area full of with spidery guitars, 808 drums, and wall-of-sound production. It’s been described as the “new emo” and “emo trap,” raw and stinging and a direct confluence of his influences—Gucci Mane, Crystal Castles, Panic! at the Disco." <ref name="Pitchfork">[http://pitchfork.com/features/rising/10001-tears-of-a-dirtbag-rapper-lil-peep-is-the-future-of-emo/ Pitchfork]</ref>. |
