<\/div>\n

With the casual charisma of a born star and shamelessly catchy music that combined emo melodies and hip-hop beats, rapper Lil Peep<\/a> was on his way to becoming a key voice of his generation \u2013 until he died of an overdose in 2017, just after his 21st birthday. On the new episode of our podcast, Rolling Stone Music Now<\/a>, David Peisner<\/a>, who wrote Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2018s recent in-depth posthumous feature on Peep\u2019s life<\/a>, career and death, joined music editor Christian Hoard and host Brian Hiatt to dig deep into Lil Peep\u2019s story. What aspects of his life and death were an all-too typical rock narrative, and what was unique to the era of SoundCloud and Instagram? Are the frequent Kurt Cobain comparisons surrounding Peep \u2014 some made by the artist himself \u2014 justified? And what, if anything, can be done to prevent further music tragedies?<\/p>\n
