There's so much to be said about a hip-hop artist that is versatile enough to fit a bevy of styles. South Florida seems particularly adept at creating these artists, and wifisfuneral plays a vested role in that scene. On When Hell Falls, much like his debut, he can adopt a more traditional approach to flow and delivery, take a slower, more slurry route on the cloudier material, and turn on the heat for the more trap-influenced tracks. The production follows suit, shifting its sound effortlessly across the record, but never sounding too far removed from each style that it's not cohesive. wifisfuneral deals with hometown issues, whether it be gang-related, his newfound pressure to succeed, or his family's well-being, and he gives understandable and clear backstory and descriptions of each. It's clear he's getting better every project if this improvement from his debut is any indication, and while I wouldn't call this project fantastic, there's still loads of potential to mine from.
