The 20-Year-Old Rapper Drops a SoundCloud Loosie in the Midst of the Nationwide Boy Who Cried Wolf Tour
11.20.2017
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 Song:
A prolific emcee known for his cerebral approach, South Florida phenom wifisfuneral is one of the rising stars of a burgeoning scene. Paying tribute to an ultra-powerful character from Dragon Ball Z, wifisfuneral forms half of a two-headed monster on “Gotenks.” Tag-teaming producer Cris Dinero‘s minimalist, eerie track with fellow rapper Dooney Montana, wifi flaunts his verbal dexterity on the track: “Known around the block as a pop star/All my life I’ve been ducking from the cop cars/Now my bank stretch long like a python.” The latest in a steady stream of fiery loosies released since leaking his his major label debut mixtape Boy Who Cried Wolf on August 1st, “Gotenks” is a potent reminder of the talented emcee’s work ethic and lyrical mastery. “Gotenks” arrives amidst wifisfuneral’s ationwide Boy Who Cried Wolf Tour, where he is joined by members of his Rich Life Crew, including Dinero, Danny Towers, 458Keez, and DJ Yazmine. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.wifisfuneral.com/.
One of the more quietly successful artists in a burgeoning South Florida rap scene that has emerged into the mainstream, wifisfuneral cemented his status as a bonafide national star with his Boy Who Cried Wolf mixtape. 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. The mixtape 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,” previously on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Earlier this year, wifi performed at Rolling Loud festival in Miami and toured Europe with popular Taiwanese rapper Keith Ape.
Catch wifisfuneral at Middle East in Boston on November 22nd and at S.O.B.’s in New York on November 27th.

The Background:
wifisfuneral Background In just one year, nineteen year old South Florida rapper wifisfuneral has taken his dark sonics, mature-beyond-his-years lyrics, and trunk rattling bass from the streets of Palm Beach to the world, amassing over 18 million streams and over 150,000 followers across all platforms. wifisfuneral’s growth has been organic and cult-like, with his fans spreading his music like wildfire with each and every release. With virtually zero promotion other than his social media presence, wifisfuneral’s most recent mixtape Black Heart Revenge (May 27th, 2016) reached #69 on the iTunes hip-hop charts despite being available for free. When Hell Falls, wifisfuneral’s next project, hit stores on January 27th and this time around, peaked at #17 on the iTunes hip-hop charts.
Alamo Records Background
Alamo Records is industry veteran Todd Moscowitz‘s new label, founded in partnership with Universal Music Group in early 2017. During the last two decades, Moscowitz established an exceptional track record that also includes signing and working with artists ranging from Action Bronson, Meek Mill, Mike Jones, Migos, Young Thug, Jill Scott, Macklemore and the record labels OVO Sound and Maybach Music Group (MMG). Before launching Alamo Records, in 2013 Moscowitz co-founded 300 Entertainment, a New York-based independent company that signed, developed and broke artists such Fetty Wap, Highly Suspect and Migos.
