Lil Peep’s “Cry Alone” Explained

Long Island rapper Lil Peep tragically passed away from a drug overdose last November, but his spirit lives on. Peep’s label released the music video for “Cry Alone,” the lead single off his upcoming posthumous album 'Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2.' The track is co-produced by Peep’s frequent collaborators IIVI and Smokeasac, and its video was shot in Berkeley, California in May 2017, several months before Peep’s death. According to director Max Beck, it was originally supposed to appear on 'Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1,' but Peep ended up holding onto it for Pt. 2. The song features a sample of “Devil Speaks,” a 2017 song by rapper PRXJEK.
