In the three photos above, Gus is wearing a t-shirt I had bought for him on the Long Beach boardwalk and sent to him. Killstation took several photos of Gus, and sent Gus the album art for the single. In the first couple of days in April, Gus and his housemates made a song called Homecoming. I overlaid on top of the texts some dates and references to Crybaby-related creation dates and other events. Below are some of the text exchanges between Gus and me between April 23 and May 27, 2016-about can openers, underpants, t-shirts, and coming home for a visit, and money. During all of that time, Gus began to make the tracks for the Crybaby mixtape. The place was full of people and creative energy. Lederrick and Yung Goth were there, too, as were several other young men. He ended up staying with his friend and old house-mate, Brennan Savage, in the house they had moved into in September 2014-When Gus was hoping to go to Glendale Community College. Gus left Denver in late March, early April 2016 and went back to LA. Crybaby was made after Gus had ventured out on tour with Schemaposse in Tucson, ended up in Denver for about a month, where he met and lived with LeDerrick and Yung Goth, and then wound up back in Los Angeles. Gus was branching out and, as always, experimenting with musical styles. Gus had communicated with these producers via email, Twitter, and texts, but this was the first time he actually met and worked with some of them in person. Crybaby was the first mixtape Gus made with some of the producers he had met online. He had released LIL PEEP PART ONE and Live Forever in 2015.
