A posthumous album from Lil Peep is coming next week. On Friday, the late rapper’s estate released the single “November,” and his mother Liza Womack announced that Diamonds will be released Sept. 8.
Womack said that the upcoming record is Lil Peep’s “last cohesive full body of work” made with iLoveMakonnen.
“Lil Peep and Makonnen completed the first fifteen of what would be twenty-one songs and would later be known as the album Diamonds in Los Angeles, exactly 6 years ago in August of 2017. Gus was absolutely thrilled about working with Makonnen,...

Lil Peep’s mom is “hopefully” close to settling her multimillion-dollar legal war stemming from her son’s 2017 fatal overdose on a tour bus, her lawyer said Tuesday, but a Los Angeles judge refused to postpone a March 8 trial date in the complicated case.
“Have you wrapped up the settlement here?” Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Teresa Beaudet asked the parties at the first hearing in the case since both sides announced they’d reached a deal “in principle” last October.

Music managers don’t exactly have a sterling reputation in the broad pop-culture consciousness. Casual fans usually only hear about them when there’s serious drama (either personal or financial), and they’re frequently seen as trying to cynically swoop in on the New Hot Thing with only a cursory interest in the art they’re making. But nowadays, with artists being visible 24/7 and the industry undergoing tectonic shifts seemingly every few years, the role of a manager has changed, and so have the people doing it.

Three years since Lil Peep’s death, the legal battle over who’s responsible for the young rap star’s drug overdose is more intense than ever. While Peep’s mother alleges that his label set him up with unfair contracts and directly contributed to his death, the label is now countering with its own claims against the estate.
Peep, whose real name is Gustav Elijah Åhr, soared to popularity on SoundCloud as a teenager and signed a multi-year contract with First Access Entertainment (Fae) in 2016. On November 15th, 2017 — shortly...

Honoring the second anniversary of Lil Peep’s death this past November were, among other things, a documentary, a pop-up merchandise store, and a full-length posthumous album commemorating the young rapper’s short-lived career. But looming over all those projects is a legal question about the circumstances of Peep’s death — and the music industry’s role in it.

Lil Peep was not pleased when he first received the final mixes of his Goth Angel Sinner Ep. “I keep reflecting on this moment on the tour bus when Peep heard the studio edits that I had done with the [British production trio] Invisible Men in London, and he absolutely hated them,” recalls Ben Friars-Funkhouser, Peep’s co-producer and close collaborator, who records and produces under the name Fish Narc. “He had a tantrum, and was about to leak the songs. He was like, ‘I’m not waiting for them to fuck my songs up.

For those who were close to Gustav Elijah Åhr, the release of documentary film Everybody’s Everything next week may be as difficult as it is cathartic. Åhr, who performed as Lil Peep, died of a drug overdose on tour in 2017 shortly after celebrating his 21st birthday; the film spotlights dozens of friends, family members, and colleagues sharing beloved memories of the young rapper, who’d amassed millions of fans with his uniquely vulnerable songs and harbored a personal ambition to “revolutionize music.”

A posthumous Lil Peep Ep has arrived, Goth Angel Sinner, as well as a video for the track, “When I Lie,” filmed before the rapper’s death in 2017.
Peep and his frequent collaborator Rayn co-directed the video for “When I Lie,” which was shot in Hamburg, Germany, during the Come Over When You’re Sober tour. The woozy, low-lit clip finds Peep on a bar stool, pulling on a cigarette and a beer as he performs the brooding track.
“It was a spur of the moment video,” Rayn said in statement.

Lil Peep’s mother, Liza Womack, has filed a lawsuit against the late rapper’s managers for negligence, breach of contract and wrongful death, among other charges, according to a complaint obtained by Rolling Stone. The news was first reported by The New York Times.

The 2019 SXSW Film Festival launched plenty of buzz for many anticipated studio releases, from Jordan Peele’s “Us” to Olivia Wilde’s “Booksmart,” but these movies don’t tell the whole story. The Austin gathering showcased 102 features and episodic across nine days, and it remains unclear where many of those titles will surface next. But even if they didn’t garner the same level of hype, many of the smaller-scale narratives and documentaries at SXSW 2019 deserve audiences beyond the insular film festival circuit.
These highlights may not generate massive deals, but in today’s malleable distribution landscape, there are many of ways that strong, original storytelling can find audience. Here’s our usual plea that buyers take a chance on these worthy films that still need homes.
“Alice”
The opening minutes of “Alice” make the case for Emilie Piponnier to be a movie star, and the rest of the movie keeps it up.

In recent years, the SXSW Film Festival has grown in stature to become a key launchpad for many kinds of movies — anticipated studio comedies, edgy documentaries, and low-budget narrative features have all found taken flight at the Austin gathering. The addition of television series has further complicated SXSW’s profile, to the point where both media receive nearly the same level of attention.
The 2019 edition was an especially fertile example, as Jordan Peele’s horror sensation “Us” kicked off the proceedings with a level of enthusiasm that remained in place in the days ahead, with many other crowdpleasing movies and television shows. Setting aside the obvious, here are some of the biggest highlights.

It was five hours before showtime and Lil Peep was in the back of his tour bus, getting high with two young fans. They were smoking dabs, high-potency doses of concentrated weed that are vaporized, then inhaled. This was Tucson, Arizona, in November 2017, and the afternoon heat hovered in the mid-80s. In the back lounge, the AC was cranked, and Peep, wearing a black, studded vest and multicolored checkered pants, had folded his long, lean frame onto an upholstered seat. Between him and the fans was a plastic table scattered with lighters,...
