But it all came together for me hearing the acoustic version of “ Walk Away as the Door Slams ” that appears in the film (the original version is on the 2016 mixtape Hellboy ). “Kiss” the first Lil Peep song that I heard samples an early Modern Baseball track and in the doc Rob Cavallo, who produced pop-punk totems by Green Day, Jawbreaker and My Chemical Romance as well as working with Lil Peep, talked about this mix of influences. But one of the things that I was most struck by was how his music was as rooted in pop-punk as it was hip-hop. Notably, he was tagged emo-rap early on in his short career. I had always understood his music (and overall visual aesthetic) to be a blender of genres. Peep’s an artist I’d admired from afar but I’d never taken the time to dive into his discography. Over the holidays I finally watched Everybody’s Everything, the surprisingly moving 2019 doc about Lil Peep who died in 2017.
