Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION’s “Falling Down” Explained

In the past year, the rap world lost both Lil Peep and XXXTentacion. Recently, the two artists posthumously collaborated for the first time on “Falling Down.” The song arrived amidst controversy among Peep’s fans, many of whom are upset about X’s inclusion. “Falling Down” is co-written by Peep and ​Makonnen, who were closely collaborating before Peep’s death last year. The song originally featured vocals from Makonnen, who opted to replace his own part with X. According to Peep’s mother, the decision was Makonnen’s alone.
