His breakthrough came when Miley Cyrus promoted his EP iLoveMakonnen on Instagram, catching Drake’s attention. He explored various music genres in his teens, recording songs on MySpace and interviewing artists for his blog. ILoveMakonnen, born Makonnen Kamali Sheran, grew up in Los Angeles and later Atlanta. Since his emergence in 2015, he has racked up 5 billion views on YouTube and over 20 billion streams across all platforms. At the time of his death just two weeks after his 21st birthday, Peep had achieved status as one of the scene’s most promising rising stars. After his breakthrough 2016 mixtapes Crybaby and Hellboy made waves in underground circles, 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. Branded “the future of emo” by Pitchfork in January 2017, Peep’s genre-bending style contributed to his reputation as a pioneer of the late 2010s post-emo revival, dishing out a handful of full-lengths and several extended-plays all before the release of his debut album Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. Over the course of two years, Peep amassed millions of fans, who connected with him through his gritty lyrics that explored themes of love, loss and loneliness. 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. Raised in Long Beach, New York, Lil Peep launched his career through the self-release of his music online as a teenager.

He would be grateful to his friends for taking the time and care to do it just right.” Gus would be so proud to know that this album had come out.

I am very grateful to Makonnen not only for his patience, grace, and fortitude, but also for the tenderness with which he re-assembled the original “Diamonds Team” to gently prepare the album for its release. I knew I had to do everything I could to help get this album released-and released the way Gus and Makonnen had made it. We all waited with anticipation for the release of this album. He knew there was more music to make, and he knew he had limited time due to his upcoming fall COWYS tour, so he organized his next chunk of studio time so he could meet Makonnen in London, where they made the last batch of songs. While Gus was glad to be home for his grandpa’s birthday, he could not wait to get back to making music with Makonnen. Gus was absolutely thrilled about working with Makonnen.When he came home in August, he played those songs for us-over and over. Lil Peep’s mother, Liza Womack explains:“ Lil Peep and Makonnen completed the first fifteen of what would be twenty-one songs and would later be known as the album ‘Diamonds’ in Los Angeles, exactly 6 years ago in August of 2017.

Gus’ art is an essential part of the album packaging–it is a pleasure to see a range of Gus's colorful, witty drawings in the vinyl and other physical versions. Thanks to for pouring his heart and soul into it for all of these months. It's just what we all would have expected from Gus.
