Lil Peep fans have been waiting for this one…
Peep’s camp posted a video to the late rapper’s IG page yesterday, announcing the collab. The caption reads “@lilpeep x @ILoveMakonnen x @falloutboy. I’ve Been Waiting. Tomorrow 1PM EST. #LilPeep4Ever”
Where did this collab come from you ask? We’re glad you asked. In a 2017 interview Peep was discussing who influenced him musically and gave two specific names, *hint hint*. “I grew up listening to a lot of emo music, a lot of rock music, a lot of rap music, a lot of trap music, funk, everything. One of my favorite hip-hop artists is Makonnen. One of my favorite bands is Fall Out Boy. You put those two together and that’s Lil Peep.”
Pete Wentz of FOB and Makonnen both spoke about the “dream collaboration” with the late rapper. “We’d connected a little bit, I don’t wanna oversell. We talked on Instagram and stuff, and I was a big fan.” said Wentz of how they git the ball rolling. Makonnen added “When I called Pete he immediately said yes, and it came together very quickly. I’m really excited to share this with the fans.” Stream the song and then watch the cool visuals on YouTube:
