LIL PEEP en ILoveMakonnen brengen vandaag hun single 'I'VE BEEN WAITING' uit, featuring Fall Out Boy. De single ging gisteren in première als 'Zane Lowe's World Record' op Beats 1.
In een interview met XXL in mei 2017 sprak Lil Peep over artiesten die hem inspireerden voor zijn eigen muziek: "I grew up listening to a lot of emo music, a lot of rock music, a lot of rap music, a lot of trap music, funk, everything. One of my favorite hip-hop artists is Makonnen. One of my favorite bands is Fall Out Boy. You put those two together and that’s Lil Peep."
Over de single en de samenwerking met Lil Peep zegt ILoveMakonnen het volgende: “My relationship with Lil Peep was one of a kind. We were two like-minded artists collaborating to make a new style of music that the world has not heard before. It was a pleasure to work with him and his loss has been devastating.” He added, “I hope that the music helps bring closure and happiness. All the songs that Peep and I have worked on are special to me. I knew adding his heroes Fall Out Boy to ‘I've Been Waiting,' would be a tribute to my friend and collaborator that I could feel proud of. When I called Pete he immediately said yes, and it came together very quickly. I’m really excited to share this with the fans."
