The top rap song at the time was DRAM and Lil Yachty’s “ Broccoli,” which sounds ancient now. Hellboy arrived two disproportionately long years ago, before emo trap was marketable and mumble rap was canon. It is an artifact that brings you as close as possible to Lil Peep. It’s callous, brazen, and indulgent, the sound of someone testing out the entire spectrum of feeling for the very first time. Hellboy paints the portrait of a young person who is bursting open with emotion, trying to share his experiences as vividly as he can while covering all the formative scars that still ache. “I ain’t gonna lie, I’ma keep it real/I don’t wanna tell you how I feel,” he sang on “Fucked Up,” at once revealing and concealing the truth. All the while, Peep hid the reasons for his behavior from the listener. The mixtape is filled with suicidal declarations, rampant drug use, and moments of delight and impulse. Uploaded to SoundCloud in September 2016, Hellboy is the masterpiece of Lil Peep’s lifetime. It’s frustrating as someone who remembers a happy brother.” How could the kid who sang, “I used to wanna kill myself/Came up, still wanna kill myself,” be anything but deeply inconsolable? But Oskar also added, “He was not as sad as people think he was. It’s what his image was in a sense.” That image made you think you knew Lil Peep as someone who willingly revealed his pain and struggles in his music. “He gets paid to be sad,” Peep’s older brother Oskar told People on November 17, 2017, hardly more than a day after Peep died. But we also added an archive that we will add to regularly so visitors to our site can see some of Gus’s artifacts to get to know him better, as a person.People knew Gustav Åhr, though. We wanted to make beautiful designs and things for people wear, skate on, and generally “flex” to show their support for Gus. You connected with him because he told you that he was like you, and he expressed feelings like the ones you have. We felt that Gus’s fans-both current and future, would welcome the chance to get to know him a little better. So, to honor him, we created this website. Gus was particularly observant, and able to express his observations clearly and poetically. It was Gus’s honesty that compelled so many people, worldwide, to connect with him. I have learned from Peep fans that Gus was a powerful and influential lyricist and music artist. This website is run by Gus’s mom and brother. This is the official website of the Estate of Gustav Elijah Ahr, who came to be known by his fans as “Lil Peep.” Live Forever remains a fan favorite seven years later, treasured for its earnest lyrics and as a token of an artist still mastering the particulars of his craft. In a similar vein, the music video for the titular track (the project’s only associated video) was recorded spontaneously in late 2015 in Peep’s hometown of Long Beach, NY. Released just months before later breakthrough mixtapes, Peep’s Live Forever sees him unpolished and unrestrained all songs were recorded in his bedroom using GarageBand, over intense beats sent to him by producers he had met online. It also features samples of Jimmy Stewart in “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946), and Radiohead's "Climbing Up The Walls". The tape showcases Gus’s love for alternative and gothic rock, sampling recognizable tracks such as The Cure’s “The Drowning Man” and Marilyn Manson’s “Coma White”. Gus released Live Forever in December 2015. We are pleased to announce that Live Forever is now available on all streaming platforms.
