Wifisfuneral and 808 Mafia Connect on “2 Step”
Florida rapper Wifisfuneral signed to Interscope/Alamo Records earlier this year, but instead of switching up his approach, he’s sticking to what got him here in the first place. 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. On “2 Step,” he links with 808 Mafia over a booming beat, but his nimble flow is not your typical trap delivery.
“My growth is reflected in the fact that if you asked me if I would be doing this a year ago I’d say no,” Wifi explains. “I’m blessed to even have people in Europe who know who I am or acknowledge my existence. I’m trying to put a really solid project out that universally everybody can listen to. I don’t want to box myself in. I don’t know what the pressure of making songs for a major label feels like. It feels like I’m doing the same things I was always doing but on a bigger level.”
Listen to “2 Step” below, and expect a big year for Wifi. He’s got a project called Ethernet coming up, and The Members Only crew has Members Only, Vol. 3 on the way. Catch him on tour in Europe this month.
