In fact, in the past three months alone, Peep has gained over 538K new Spotify followers. Lil Peep’s mother, Liza Womack explains:
“Oskar [Peep’s brother] and I are deeply committed to releasing Gus’s music true to how he created and released it himself. Most of the beats he used in creating his music contain samples, ranging from songs by the most prominent artists in the world to covers by aspiring YouTube artists. Clearing the rights to Gus’ music is a labor of love, and we’re grateful to all the artists, producers, publishers, labels, and professionals who have worked with us on this journey. We want the world to know about Gus. We want his legacy to live forever.”
Lil Peep launched his career through the self-release of his music online as a teenager. He garnered attention in 2015 following the success of a slew of singles and his first solo mixtapes, Lil Peep; Part One and Live Forever. Peep toured the United States and Europe, walked the runways at Fashion Week and began collaborating with increasingly prominent artists between New York, Los Angeles and London throughout 2017.
