Following the tragic death of hip-hop artist Lil Peep on Nov. 16 as the result of a drug overdose, former addict and rapper Kosha Dillz — aka Rami Even-Esh — took to Variety to reflect on how the late young rapper could have benefitted from the now-shuttering Warped Tour and the life-saving addiction recovery resources MusiCares provides each year on the tour.

“MusiCares’ presence at music events around the country, including Warped Tour, other festivals and awards shows, among many other events, has made a significant impact on the wellness of the music community, whether its musicians who are just beginning their journey to sobriety or, for those like Kosha Dillz, who now have many years of sobriety to their name.” – Recording Academy

It’s with great despair that we mourn the passing of recording artists Lil Peep. Rami Even-Esh, better known as Kosha Dillz spoke from the heart about the Lil Peeps life and the end of The Van’s Warped Tour; they could have helped each other.

“As I stay up all night thinking about Lil Peep, one of the most impactful artist of a new generation, I really wonder what his life could have been like if he met Mike or got to be on the bill at Warped Tour. I wish I could have told Peep my story: how I started selling drugs to fit in and eventually sniffed up everything I could get my hands on. How I ran from the cops and was happy that I got caught because I knew it was over for me. How I would black out from ketamine and GHB and get angry that I woke up.” – Kosha Dillz

Meen Streets Premiered their new single Playboys of the Western World with We Found New Music.

Embossed with a glowing sheen of warm guitars and bright synthesizers, the debut single “Playboys of the Western World” from retro-rocker, Meen Streets, delivers a mainline shot of hellacious harmonic revelry straight out of early 80’s NYC. Teleporting you into a broadway like universe, à la West Side Story, the British / Australian singer delivers a thunderbolt vocal hitched to a relentless groove and trademark pounding beat. – We Found New Music
