Hellboy (stylized in all caps) is the fifth and final mixtape by American rapper Lil Peep. It was self-released on September 25, 2016. The mixtape was promoted by two singles and later a headlining tour, The Peep Show Tour, in the spring of 2017.
Upon Peep's death from a drug overdose in November 2017, a Billboard article mentioned "Girls" as one out of seven songs from the late rapper as one of his best works.[1] In 2019, Pitchfork ranked Hellboy at number 193 in its list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s".
On September 25, 2020, Peep's estate re-released Hellboy to streaming platforms on its fourth anniversary with AUTNMY via AWAL.[2][3] It released with "drive by" being reproduced with the help of Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein due to sample clearance issues.[4][5]
Background
On August 30, 2016, Peep announced the mixtape would be releasing on September 25, 2016, on his Twitter account. Originally, the mixtape was going to consist of eight tracks. Seven of them remained on the final project, two with adjusted names.[6] However, the day before the mixtape dropped, Peep released an updated tracklist.[7] "Honestly", the song left off of the project's initial release; produced by frequent collaborator Horse Head, was later released as a single on all streaming platforms in December 2016.[8]
The album cover features Lil Peep standing, looking down at the ground, while wearing a New Jersey Devils hockey jersey. It was photographed by Miller Rodríguez.[9] In a filmed interview for GQ in 2017, Peep had explained that he had read Hellboy comics and was a fan of the character.[10] Hellboy was commercially released on September 25, 2020.[2][3]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings In an article from The New Yorker on the emergence of "sad rap" rising to mainstream prominence in 2017, "OMFG" was described as a "standout on his mixtape [Hellboy]".[11] In 2019, Pitchfork ranked Hellboy at number 193 in their list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s"; executive editor Matthew Schnipper wrote: "His music assures you that you’re not alone—and if you haven't, he gives you a glimpse of what that suffering feels like."[12]
