2016’s WiFi Season features contributions from producers like F1LTHY and Working On Dying representative Oogie Mane, who’ve gone on to create hits with Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert, respectively. Occasionally, he links up with producers before they blow up nationally. He speaks of the beat selection process like a gallery owner would speak of sifting through art samples YouTube and SoundCloud accounts are the portfolios he examines and re-examines until he finds what works for him. “I could be an A&R or something.” His ear for production goes beyond personal preference. “That comes from looking for the best beats for hours and hours and hours and working with the best people. No matter the beat, WiFi is the grounding force behind any of his songs. WiFi jumps between these different sounds effortlessly, turning brags about his drip and new motorcycle into a game of lyrical hopscotch. Take “KAWASAKI,” a song that twinkles like a chandelier but is accented by a bludgeoning low-end courtesy of Maryland producer AMAL. Hearing him find the pockets and force himself into any sound is half the fun. The beats that he chooses to rap over provide the movement, the drama that turns any WiFiGawd song into a party. His flow is static, more or less bound to the rigid cadences of his older rap ancestors. WiFi is an engaging rapper, but listen closely to any of his projects, and you’ll find that the raps are only half of the equation. Sometimes, WiFi smokes zaza, hangs out at parties and gets into the occasional fight (“GOD OF WAR”) but other times, like on “SLIDE THRU,” he’s crooning for some neck and company like Kid Cudi. You can hear flecks of Curren$y-esque lifestyle rap on songs like “4 MY SKATERS” and “FUCK WHAT YA HEARD,” his breathy delivery pushing through the beats like he’s swimming through them. His latest project CHAIN OF COMMAND - his second release of 2022, via POW Recordings - continues to warp his influences into jagged pieces of debris floating through his own customized hip-hop universe. I’ll probably spend the majority of the time looking for beats, but the rapping probably takes the least amount of time.”Įven if the raps are second-nature to him, it doesn’t show in the music. I really gotta be with my people and tap in with my homies and shit and make fire.

“Motherfuckers think that shit easy, but it’s not.

So making new music is crazy because I really have to tap in and find fire-ass beats all the time and shit,” he said. “I feel like, personally, I’ve rapped on some of the best beats being made - industry, underground, it don’t matter. WiFi has released 22 projects over the last five years, and he takes immense pride in the time he spends combing the internet for the best beats he can find. His obsession has blossomed into an incredibly prolific career. He came up rapping over old MF DOOM beats before beginning his search for every rap sound he could find. The era of DatPiff mixtapes instilled a hunger for new music in him that he’s indulged ever since. As he grew older and was introduced to the internet, he was drawn to artists like Curren$y and Kid Cudi - who he felt could rap and croon over anything - and mixtapes by Don Cannon and Raider Klan. A good portion of WiFi’s childhood was spent mainlining music by artists like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Wu-Tang Clan.
