02.26.2018
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 Video:
Just 20-years-old with a legion of devoted fans, South Florida rapper wifisfuneral specializes in moody, cerebral rap tracks with innovative and catchy flows. Retreating into his own mental world, the South Florida emcee stunts amid red-tinted visual effects on “Friday Take,” his new video. Rhyming over a beat from wifi’s frequent collaborator Cris Dinero, the young rapper spins a minute-long verse over a hauntingly minimalist instrumental. Originally released in October 2017, “Friday Take” is the wifi’s first video of the year and his latest release since Last Time Doing Drugs, a new bite-sized EP created in collaboration with Cris Dinero. Featuring an appearance from Craig Xen, Last Time Doing Drugs gives listeners a peek into wifi’s mindset as he prepares for Ethernet, his upcoming mixtape.
wifisfuneral expanded his sonic world in 2017 when he released Boy Who Cried Wolf, his major label debut mixtape. Featuring singles such as the Joe Budden-cosigned “Joe Budden Probably Thinks I Cant Rap 🙁,” the slyly self-aware “lil jeff hardy >:-),” and the posse cut “Centerfold,” Boy Who Cried Wolf made #49 on Passion of the Weiss‘s list of the 50 Best Albums of 2017. Boy Who Cried Wolf was 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. In fall 2017, wifi embarked on the successful Boy Who Cried Wolf Tour, which ended last weekend at Rolling Loud Southern California. wifi capped a successful year in December with one of his biggest hits yet, “LilSkiesFuneral,” which features breakout rapper Lil Skies and racked up over 2.3 million plays on SoundCloud. Named one of the Best New Artists of 2017 by Pigeons and Planes, wifisfuneral’s star has only just started to rise. Look for the young rapper to continue his rise in 2018 with the upcoming release of Ethernet.
