Lil Peep Instagram – Star Shopping has just surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. Gus made Star Shopping mid-August, 2015 after getting home from celebrating his grandfather’s 78th birthday. It is amazing to consider the fact that he made such a beautiful song so simply—using a beat a friend of his from the Internet had given him, a pair of $200 headphones, my old MacBook Pro and GarageBand. He had no label, no studio, no promo. He worked alone in his bedroom, usually throughout the night. The success of this song is testimony to his gift as a poet, his passion, his honesty, and the way he used his voice to evoke feelings in all of us.
