Lil Peep’s Posthumous Album Drops Next Week, A Collab with ILoveMakonnen
On Friday (Sept. 1), Lil Peep’s estate announced that they will release the late rapper’s posthumous album titled Diamonds on Sept. 8. According to Peep’s mother, Liza Womack, the project is her son’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 [Lil Peep] was absolutely thrilled about working with Makonnen,” she said in a statement. “When he came home in August, he played those songs for us — over and over. Gus was incredibly proud of those songs.”
Before the album arrives, Lil Peep and iLoveMakonnen’s collab song “November” dropped on digital streaming platforms. Check it out below. Also, a behind-the-scenes documentary called Diamonds was released. The 21-minute film features Peep and iLoveMakonnen’s creative process in making the album. You can watch it below.
“I am very grateful to Makonnen not only for his patience, grace, and fortitude, but also for the tenderness with which he re-assembled the original “Diamonds Team” to gently prepare the album for its release. He did an amazing job — they all did,” said Liza. “Gus would be so proud to know that this album had come out. He would be grateful to his friends for taking the time and care to do it just right.”
