Lil Peep’s posthumous album, Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 2, has been out for a few months now, and today the late rapper’s team released the music video for his song “16 Lines.” The track leaked online in June 2017, but was reworked by producer Smokeasac for the album’s release. Its music video, shot in New York City in April 2017, features a close-up portrayal of Peep.
Like much of Peep’s music, “16 Lines” tackles issues of drug abuse and the rapper’s own mortality:
16 lines of blow and I’m fine
Break my bones, but act as my spine
I wonder who you’ll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Peep died of an accidental drug overdose in November 2017 at just 21 years old, bringing an abrupt end to the rapper’s burgeoning career. Genius previously explored how Peep’s estate and record label has handled the posthumous release of his music:
Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 2 debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, moving 81,000 equivalent album units its first week. The label has plans for additional Lil Peep projects in the future, although no concrete plans have been announced just yet.
