WHAT IT IS: In an interview with XXL in May 2017, Lil Peep said, “One of my favorite hip-hop artists is Makonnen. One of my favorite bands is Fall Out Boy. You put those two together and that’s Lil Peep.” This project follows the success of Lil Peep’s sophomore album, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt 2, which debuted at #4 on the Top 200. Complex hails the release as “the rare posthumous album that doesn’t feel like a rehashing of what the artist did well, but a true step forward and a glimpse into what would have been.”
