8.18.2017

Critical Praise:

“[wifisfuneral] displays an impressive array of verbal acrobatics, showing off masterful breath control and a rapid fire flow.” – Pitchfork

“‘It Don’t Matter’ puts Wifisfuneral over a raucous, Robb Bank$-produced beat, with keys straight out of a science fiction film. He raps about women, drugs, being fearless, and most importantly, ignoring people who talk too much. Never get too wrapped up in the naysayers and the time wasters; they’ll never help you be great. The song is visceral, it gets to point, and it should be played as loudly as possible.” – NOISEY

“The young rapper has a wide range of skills, from agile raps and bass-heavy tracks to dark and moody slow-burners, and his unpredictability is part of his appeal” – Pigeons & Planes

The Remix:

Specializing in ruminative, introspective, and cerebral tracks that you can still blast out your car speakers, wifisfuneral is one of the most popular and promising young artists of 2017. Released back in March at the request of wifi’s Twitter followers, “wya?,” quickly grew into one of wifisfuneral’s most popular tracks, racking up over 941,000 streams on Spotify and 1.85 million plays on SoundCloud. A minimalist banger with addictive production from Cian P, “wya?” finds wifisfuneral expressing the duality of romanticism and paranoia, leaving and returning, grappling with newfound success over a milky turn-up chorus. The 20-year old remarks upon his rapid career ascent with self-awareness that belies his age: “Went from 30 people shows to nationwide touring/Been like all around the globe all these hos say they adore me/But I had to bring it back where it’s at yeah it’s that.” Today, wifi treats his fans to the remix, featuring a typically witty and self-deprecating verse from 2017 XXL Freshman Ugly God. Offering a perfect rejoinder to wifi’s verse, Ugly God dedicates a verse to his ex, working through his emotions in his colorful manner: “Now we barely even talk/You put my feelins in a vault/I’m comin’ clean, baby girl/just bein’ honest/Truthfully I really try my best/But you just packed your shit and left/Damn why the fuck you break a pinky promise?” The remix is the closing track on the official version of Boy Who Cried Wolf, wifi’s latest project. Featuring production from Pi’erre Bourne and Cris Dinero, Boy Who Cried Wolf is now available to purchase and stream at the digital music provider of your choice.

One of the more quietly successful artists in a burgeoning South Florida rap scene that also includes Kodak Black, XXXTentacion, and Ski Mask the Slump God, Boy Who Cried Wolf is the latest in a strong string of albums from the young rapper. Featuring previously released singles such as the Joe Budden-cosigned “JoeBuddenProbablyThinksICantRap 🙁,“ the slyly self-aware “lil jeff hardy >:-),” and the posse cut “Centerfold,” which have earned more than 2 million combined plays on SoundCloud, Boy Who Cried Wolf is the next step in wifi’s evolution as an artist. Boy Who Cried Wolf is wifi’s second project of 2017, following When Hell Falls, which debuted at #17 on the iTunes Hip-Hop Chart and preceded a successful SXSW where he caught the attention of Todd Moscowitz, who signed him to his new venture Alamo/Interscope. Since signing with Alamo, wifisfuneral unleashed a barrage of high quality loose singles like “Run It Up,” which features an appearance from wifi’s labelmate Smokepurpp, and the 808 Mafia-produced, Pigeons & Planes-premiered “2 Step,”currently on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Earlier this year, wifi performed at Rolling Loud festival in Miami, toured Europe with popular Taiwanese rapper Keith Ape, and then returned to the US for select dates of the Revenge Tour with XXXTentacion. The young rapper continues his climb to stardom with Boy Who Cried Wolf.
