He was cited as one of the primary artists responsible for the post-emo revival with his style of hip hop which came to be known as emo trap. After a slight delay, his debut album Come over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 was released on August 15, 2017. Due to a possible drug overdose, he passed away on November 15, 2017 (aged 21).

Lil Peep was described as a "SoundCloud rapper", and his musical style is considered lo-fi rap or emo-trap. The New York Times defined Åhr as the Kurt Cobain of lo-fi rap and described his music as gloomy and diabolically melodic. Åhr's music generally draws on both southern US rap and the angsty introspection of the rock subgenre post-hardcore.

In 2015, Åhr released his first mixtape, Lil Peep Part One, which generated 4,000 plays in its first week. Shortly thereafter, he released his first extended play, Feelz, and another mixtape, Live Forever. In 2016, Åhr released two seminal mixtapes, Crybaby and Hellboy.

But I know I wanna take you
Leave you alone, ayy
Hello

I don't really know where I'm tryna go but I know I wanna take you, yeah
When I'm on the road and I leave you alone, I just pray I don't break you, yeah
I was on the phone with her in the other room, not tryna wake you, yeah

When you tell me you hate me (yeah), I know that you don't
Now you're calling me crazy (ayy), girl I know, girl I know
When you tell me you hate me (ayy), I know that you don't

I would give it all back for you right now, I could never forget you
Runaway from me, try to runway, but I ain't gonna let you (gonna let you)
And I can hear my heartbeat sounding like the bass drum
I said baby don't stall with the fuckin' and the makeups

Sometimes I feel like everyone hates me

When you tell me you hate me (yeah), I know that you don't

Now you're calling me crazy (ayy), girl I know, girl I know
When you tell me you hate me (ayy), I know that you don't
