“white tee” is the first collaboration between Lil Peep and Lil Tracy (fka Yung Bruh). As he just got out of prison, a friend of his told Tracy about him being mentioned in the fourth EP of the Long Island rapper, California Girls. Appreciating that shout-out as much as the EP, Tracy contacted Peep’s friend and producer NEDARB to schedule a first meeting between the two rappers. On the day Peep and Tracy met, they wrote “white tee”.
Noticing how positive the feedback from the audience was, the two rappers decided to shoot a music video. It is in front of Brennan Savage’s garage, which was at the time occupied by Peep and the Schemaposse, that Killstation recorded the whole footage in one take. “white tee” is released on the next day and quickly gains popularity, as Tracy said in an interview for Pitchfork magazine: "Then the next day or so after this shit dropped, it was like, 100k, 200k, 300k, 500, 600k. Then it started a whole avalanche."
The instrumental, produced by NEDARB NAGROM, heavily samples “Such Great Heights” by indie pop duo Postal Service with some added hi-hats and some heavy-hitting 808s.
In 2018, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal revealed that NEDARB asked him to get on the song but he refused because he thought “the Postal Service sample was too obvious.”
