wifisfuneral

Wifisfuneral, born Isaiah Rivera, is an American rapper who emerged from Florida's SoundCloud rap scene as part of a wave of emo-influenced, DIY-minded artists blending trap production with raw, confessional lyricism. Originally performing under the name Izzy Kill$, he adopted the name Wifisfuneral in honor of a friend of his DJ who died by suicide, pairing that tragedy with an ambition to have his music reach a global, «worldwide» audience.

His sound fuses aggressive, distorted trap beats with melodic, often anguished vocal deliveries, touching on themes of loss, mental health, and struggle drawn directly from his own life, including a difficult relationship with an absent father and personal battles that led to hospitalizations. Songs and mixtapes such as «Wya?», «Juveniles», «I Can't Fold», and «LilSkiesFuneral» — the latter a nod to his ties with fellow SoundCloud-era artist Lil Skies — helped establish him within the tight-knit network of underground rappers who rose together in the mid-2010s.

Wifisfuneral's early exposure to rap came through his father, a freestyle battle rapper from the Bronx, and a childhood viewing of a Notorious B.I.G. music video that convinced him music was his calling. After relocating with his mother to Palm Beach, Florida, he built a devoted following through prolific mixtape releases like When Hell Falls, cementing his reputation as one of the genre's more emotionally direct voices.
