Hutchison’s passing (though he was over a decade older) was similarly unexpected and the result of an apparent suicide. Lil Peep’s passing in November was a heart shattering look into the Xanax abuse that runs rampant amongst young rappers.
When Lil Peep’s posthumous single “ 4 Gold Chains” was released, I couldn’t help think of Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison, who was found dead just three days prior.
Lil Peep’s “Four Gold Chains” is a perfect summation of a genre he pioneered and serves as a goodbye.
