Perhaps he seems like another Soundcloud rapper on the surface, but Wifisfuneral prides himself on a more old-school lyrical complexity that’s sure to please traditional hip-hop heads. The album was pushed back a couple weeks (because who wants to compete with Kanye and Pusha T), but the 21-year-old’s debut Interscope offering is here.
