On the fourth anniversary of the passing of Pennsylvania-born rapper Lil Peep, his mother Liza Womack (aka Mama Peep) stopped by Montreality to discuss his legacy.
The conversation gives fans another inside look at Peep’s upbringing, and how he grew to become the a leading figure of the emo rap scene in the mid–late 2010s. Ms. Womack touches on a variety of subjects including Peep’s baby book, her own childhood, cartoons, her favourite songs, Peep’s poetry, his aura, love, the SoundCloud days, Taz!, and her message to Peep’s fans.
“high school is a song that I love, and of course star shopping. I also love California girls ‘f*cking with me in the summer,’ and I also love ratchet bitches. I’m sitting there singing this, and there are so many words that you wouldn’t expect to come out of a mom’s mouth (..)” – Liza Womack
Lil Peep, born Gustav Elijah Åhr, died of an accidental fentanyl/Xanax overdose before a scheduled gig in Tucson, Arizona.
On Valentine’s Day 2018, a fitting date, Montreality shared an interview with Peep that had been shot on April 13, 2017 in Montréal. You can find that interview below along with a touching Lil Peep tribute released by the company last year featuring Ghostemane, City Morgue, Ottawa’s Night Lovell, Pouya, Adam22, Smokepurpp, Ski Mask The Slump God, the late great Juice WRLD, iLoveMakonnen, and Lil Tracy.
