Throughout the whole album, the topics Peep covers mostly pertain to drugs, heartbreak, depression, death, and the occasional flex. The lyrics are a confusing mixture of rap music braggadocio and adolescent-like self-deprecation. Moody, emotional, but all the while never losing the bass heavy feel of modern hip-hop songs. In essence, this instrumental is representative of Peep's general sound. There is also an Underoath sample, which seems to be a recurring band for Peep (or better said, his producers) to sample in his music. The album kicks off with the title track, which comes in with a vocal sample from the movie in which the title is taken from, then a nice guitar sample, followed by 808's and a deep bass. But, if you were ever a young fan of bands that routinely performed at Warped Tour, then this album may be right up your alley. Saturated with angsty, cringe-worthy lyrics, and perhaps a bit too much self-indulgence, this album may be a difficult listen for people not accustomed to the emo music Peep takes influence from. But, the music, albeit an exciting new take on trap, is certainly not without it's flaws. Lil Peep creates an exciting fusion of trap flavored hip-hop mixed with classic emo music, best illustrated by Peep naming two consecutive tracks after two of his biggest influences, in the form of songs "Cobain", followed by "Gucci Mane". While reviewing an artist like Lil' Peep, the first issue people run into is assuming that Peep is claiming to be a lyricist, or that he is setting out to make a project comparable to the albums of his contemporaries. An interesting and important step forward for the development of contemporary hip-hop. Peep later became a member of GOTHBOICLIQUE after being introduced to them by prominent underground music blogger The Internet Hippy.Review Summary: Lil Peep introduces an exciting blend of trap flavored hip-hop mixed with classic emo music, that will instantly polarize audiences.
