I have all of his written work from the first grade, as well as his early writing from Pre-K and Kindergarten. These young men sampled some great, classic guitar riffs and combined them with the signature 808s for Gus to lay his vocal on and really wobble your rear view mirror.

We know this because we can hear him playing a song on his iPhone fully one month before our first documented record of the song on his computer—the “bounce. From the streets of Los Angeles to studios in London and sold out tours in Russia, the artist born Gustav Ahr touched countless lives through his words, his sound and his very being. From July 27 to August 10, Gus and Makonnen had completed the first fifteen of what would be twenty-one songs and would later be known as the “Diamonds” project. Makonnen had invited Gus, Smokeasac, Fish Narc, and Yung One Era to the Electric Feel studio on Sunset Boulevard.From the moment he began writing, as a child, until the day he died, Gus mixed reality with make-believe to express his feelings whether they were playful or sad.

Creating a unique mix of punk, emo and trap, Lil Peep was set to bring a new musical genre to the mainstream when he died of a drug overdose at just 21 years old.Hellboy is a gritty, raw, and very intense piece of work in which Gus expresses feelings of anger, sorrow, loneliness, and determination. We felt that Gus’s fans—both current and future, would welcome the chance to get to know him a little better. It is interesting to analyze Gus’s early written work with all his other writing to think about as well. HELLBOY Double LP Vinyl featuring custom Fire Red colored records, a beautifully designed gatefold package, dust-proof sleeves, and exclusive HELLBOY sticker.

This is perhaps one of the most skilful and competent rap albums, Lil Peep’s sensitivity and vulnerability is an aspect that particularly compells me and we have yet to see anything like it again (although it seems Lil Yatchy is following in his footsteps with ‘let’s start here’). He ended up staying with his friend and old house-mate, Brennan Savage, in the house they had first moved into in September 2014—When Gus was hoping to go to Glendale Community College with Brennan.

You connected with him because he told you that he was like you, and he expressed feelings like the ones you have. Gus was busy trying to make music with a multitude of collaborators while he was staying at Elias’s house. We wanted to make beautiful designs and things for people wear, skate on, and generally “flex” to show their support for Gus.

This is without question the highest quality, best sounding, and most impressive physical release I’ve gotten this year. What stands out the most to me when I read Gus’s early stories is how so many of them are evocative in the same way that his lyrics are. My only issues are that my copy came in with slightly warped discs, as well as some surface noise between most songs even after a thorough cleaning.In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. 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.
