Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1

Gustav Åhr, a.k.a. Long Island’s emo-rap prodigy Lil Peep, masters the art of dejection on his debut album, *Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1*. Mixing live guitar samples, reverbed trap beats, and howling lead vocals, Peep formulates a haunting tour through his own personal hell, whether he’s slurring words on the drug-addled opener, “Benz Truck (гелик),” or leading a downcast shout-along on “Better Off (Dying).” His music may be dark, but Peep finds a way to make it shine.

On his debut album, the alternately waggish and sincere Lil Peep is bona fide rocker warping the edges of rap.
