Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

(Now let's do that song for Peep)
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (yeah)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fightin' (oh-oh-oh)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around, yeah
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
His name will live, brother
Bro, I got, I feel hella shitty 'cause it's like, yo
Like, if I would've known he was so cool
And it's like, yo, if I would've watched interviews sooner
Bro, we were so alike
It's unfortunate because it's like, yo, when people die
That's when we like, you know?
'Cause your remorse kinda makes you check 'em out
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can't keep on fightin' (oh-oh-oh)
Girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around (yeah)
Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town
So girl, let's watch the rain as it's falling down (yeah)
The lyrics to "Falling Down" is a collaboration between XXXTENTACION and Lil Peep, two young artists who passed away at an impressionable time in their careers. The song begins with a comforting suggestion from XXXTENTACION to watch the rain fall. The repeated phrase "Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around" could mean that the singer wants to ensure that the listener feels like they are not alone. It can be interpreted as a request to remain a presence in the listener's life, even when they are not physically present.
The line "Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town" suggests that the singer's absence from the listener's life has left a void that cannot be filled. XXXTENTACION seems to want to remain a significant part of the listener's life, but there is an indication that he might not be able to provide what is needed. The chorus then shifts to a declaration of love, "Darling, your love is like walking on a bed of nails, and I just can't keep on fighting". The metaphor suggests that the love between the singer and the listener is both beautiful and painful. The chorus repeats, with the two artists' reminiscing about their conversations and how much they had in common. In the end, the song fades out with a plea from XXXTENTACION for the listener to remember what they shared and to keep his memory alive.

Peep
I just wanted to say that I suffered along with your songs for 3 long years
And I got better
I’m so happy now you wouldn’t believe it
I just wanted to thank you for being this awesome musician and to have kept me going for so long in my dark years
I hope your soul find peace in the afterlife
And I hope to see you again my brother in Christ
God bless you
You mean a lot to me, really
Much respect and love for you my dear friend. Rest in Peace.
