Lil Peep, the New York rapper who mixed guitar-driven emo and rap production on mixtapes that gained millions of plays on SoundCloud, died Wednesday night at age 21. A representative for the rapper confirmed his death to Rolling Stone, but said that the cause of death was undetermined.
“I am shocked and heartbroken,” said Sarah Sennett – the CEO of First Access Entertainment, a management and publishing company that partnered with Lil Peep last year – in a statement. “I do not believe Peep wanted to die, this is so tragic. He had big goals and dreams for the future which he had shared with me, his team, his family and his friends. He was highly intelligent, hugely creative, massively charismatic, gentle and charming. He had huge ambition and his career was flourishing.”
“I’ve been expecting this call for a year,” the rapper’s manager Chase Ortega tweeted. “Mother f—.”
Born Gustav Åhr on November 1st, 1996 in Long Island, New York and raised in Long Beach, Åhr dropped out of high school and completed his GED through computer courses before moving to Los Angeles. “I moved out here straight out of high school thinking I was going to pay rent with this SoundCloud rap career I had going on,” Lil Peep told Pitchfork in 2016. “But it turned out I couldn’t really do that yet. So I had to go back [to Long Island].” He soon returned to the West Coast and recorded some of his best-known material in his apartment in L.A.
He released his debut, Lil Peep Part One, through Bandcamp in December of 2015: The project mixed languorous guitars, bracing, often bleak lyrics – “I got a feeling that I’m not gonna be here for next year,” he sang on “The Way I See Things” – and trap drums. Åhr continued to refine this sound on a series of releases; the latest, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1., arrived in August.
Peep was hailed as a young artist reviving emo for a hip-hop age. Åhr described his sound as “a whole new thing.” “It’s good for the emo genre as a whole and all the fans and all the people who ever liked it, because it’s going to keep it relevant,” he added. “It’s just adapting to the new sounds that people want to listen to when they hop in the car and s—.”
Even as he accumulated millions of streams across platforms, Åhr admitted that he struggled with drug use and suicidal thoughts. “I suffer from depression and some days I wake up and I’m like, F—, I wish I didn’t wake up,” he told Pitchfork. “That was part of why I moved to California; trying to get away from the place that was doing that to me, and the people I was around. I realized it was just myself – it’s a chemical imbalance in my brain.”
As news of his death spread, rockers, producers and rappers remembered Lil Peep on Twitter. “Lil Peep forever,” wrote Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz. “Peep had so much more to do, man; he was constantly inspiring me,” Diplo added. Chart-topper Post Malone posted a photo with Peep and added, “In the short time that I knew you, you were a great friend to me and a great person. Your music changed the world and it’ll never be the same.”

Wiz Khalifa’s been promising new music for a minute at this point. The rapper spent the majority of this year working on his forthcoming album Rolling Papers 2. While he’s wrapped that up recently, he also revealed that he plans to deliver a mixtape before he drops off the album. Yesterday, he promised a new single off of the project and he keeps to his word. Today, he finally unveils “Letterman.
Wiz Khalifa is back with his latest single “Letterman.” The rapper’s been teasing this single for quite some time at this point and has made his fans eager for it’s release. The single doesn’t disappoint by any means. The production features an interesting guitar riff while the bass quakes through the rest of the production. It’s easily the next party anthem from young Khalifa. His voice is doused with auto tune on the hook before he comes through full force on the verses with his smooth flow. It’s a great introduction to what Wiz has in store for us on his upcoming mixtape, Laugh Now, Fly Later. It’s safe to say Wiz will deliver a body of work suitable for smoking, partying and generally vibing out. “Letterman” is a great indication of what Wiz has to offer.
Over the past year, Wiz’ been teasing his upcoming album. He initially said that he’d strictly deliver an album without a precursor. However, he quickly changed his mind. Either way, we’re stoked to get new music from Wiz Khalifa. There may be a chance we’ll get it sooner than expected so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Minister of power, Babatunde Fashola, has rubbished and denied claims of financial impropriety made against him by Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west.
Melaye had alleged that the power ministry diverted $35 million to the Afam fast power project without the approval of the national assembly.
He also said a sum of $350 million raised from a $1 billion Eurobond was spent by the ministry in 2013.
Fashola, who has been summoned by the senate over the allegations in a statement titled “Before perception becomes reality” denied the allegations, maintaining that the facts could have been easily verifiable “by a simple letter from the senator to the Ministry without the furore and suggestions of wrong doing and malfeasance”.
FULL STATEMENT
Before perception becomes reality, I feel compelled to make this Statement in response to allegations bordering on financial impropriety raised on the Floor of the Senate against the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, my Office as Minister, the staff of the Ministry and by extension my person.
The sum and substance of the allegations to which the Ministry will provide full, factual and detailed response when formally invited are that:
1. An amount in the region of $350million being part of a $1billion Eurobond facility taken in 2013 has gone missing or has been diverted.
2. That the Ministry, had procured a contract for Afam Fast Power and paid $26million or thereabout for it.
With all emphasis, I state that there is no factual basis for the allegations.
The Ministry, my staff and I have done nothing wrong and we will collaborate fully with the Investigating Committee when called upon.
For now, it suffices for members of the public to note that I wasn’t a Minister in 2013, and that when Government raises a Debt like the Eurobond, it is the Debt Management Office that manages the Debt and not the Ministry.
The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) had on Monday, 6th November 2017 issued a Statement on the Front Page of The Nation Newspaper explaining that the money was not missing, stating also that the $350 million had been invested and that interest had even accrued on the money.
If there was no ulterior motive for the allegation, this was enough reason for a reconsideration of the presentation of the Motion on the Floor of the Senate on the 8th of November 2017.
But the story seemed to have changed from “missing money” last week, to a “desperate attempt to retrieve the money”, this week.
As for the Afam Fast Power, the sum and substance of it is that , it was an investment by the General Electric, a globally reputed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), to invest in our country and support our effort to get good quick power under our Roadmap of Incremental, Steady and Uninterrupted power.
They offered to do this by providing Nigeria with mobile turbines of 600MW if we could find a location with Gas and Transmission evacuation infrastructure. The Afam Power Station fitted because it had transmission and evacuation facilities but all its turbines had been virtually run down.
The investment was contingent on paying $27,990,000 million which was 15% of 8 (eight) units of 30MW turbines each totaling 240MW valued at about $186,600,000:00.
This payment of $27.9m was made without breaching any law.
At this moment, the turbines have arrived Nigeria and currently at the Onne Port. This is verifiable just as works are on going on the site – civil and engineering – preparing to receive the turbines , and install other equipment already at site.
All of these are verifiable by all well meaning Nigerians who may want to undertake the inspection. We expect that the project will be commissioned soon enough to add 240MW to the Grid.
This will be one of the fastest power projects when delivered, compared to inherited power projects before this Administration.
Investors to the best of my knowledge do not require Parliamentary approval to invest in our Country.
All of these facts could have been easily verifiable by a simple letter from the Senator to the Ministry without the furore and suggestions of wrong doing and malfeasance.
We must be careful about what we say and do with regards to investments and investors which we clearly need in all sectors of our developmental life and in particular in infrastructure and power.
Unverified allegations such as the ones under discussion constitute an imminent threat to our investment climate.
For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no wrong doing whatsoever.

A Mauritanian blogger condemned to death in 2014 for apostasy in a Facebook post about Islam will be freed because an appeals court on Thursday overturned his sentence, his lawyer said. Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir has spent nearly four years in jail after a high- profile case surrounding a post in which he criticised the use of religion to justify social discrimination.
The case has highlighted tempestuous social divisions in the desert West African country, often based on ethnicity. Thousands protested in the capital Nouakchott and other cities during the trial demanding Mkhaitir be put to death.
Mauritania has not carried out a death penalty sentence since 1987, but last year a group of influential Muslim clerics urged authorities to apply the harshest punishment.
