After a run of mixtapes, he released Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. Fifth boykills on me sleep while eat you by my siving you home. Bleak as it was, there was something beautiful about it, too, the nursery-rhyme quality of tracks like “Beamer Boy” and “White Wine,” or the way Peep seemed to hover at the edge of consciousness.

Raised in Long Island, he spent most of his teens in and out of homelessness in Los Angeles.
