On March 12, a picture posted on Peep's official Instagram account shows the emo rapper holding a note, which reads “Lil Peep x Sus Boy. 3.17.18.”
The picture's location is Los Angeles, which might mean the pop-up shop will be somewhere in the city.
Two days ago, Peep's creative director, Sus Boy, shared a picture of a new merch item. “We designed our own collection and finished it the day before he left for tour,” he wrote. “I’d never heard him so excited about his goals to break into fashion. He’d conquered the runway, but now was ready to drop his own vision.”
Sus Boy continued, “I’m so grateful and blessed that he chose to share in that vision with me, but I’m crushed knowing he passed before the clothes were even finished being manufactured.”
“Our collection has a piece of him in every design,” the creative director wrote. “Thank you Peep for putting so much of yourself into everything you made.”

Lil Peep's death at the age of 21 came as a shock to the music community. Presumed an overdose, the musician's brother Oskar recently said the death was accidental: “He was super happy with where he was in life.”
Peep was part of GothBoiClique, cofounded with Wicca Phase aka Adam McIlwee, the ex-singer of Tiger’s Jaw, creating their own hip-hop/emo subgenre that has prompted a massive movement in the music industry. With over 100 million streams to-date, including tracks such as “Awful Things” and “The Brightside,” he solidified his standing in the genre-defying movement.
