WiFiGawd drops heat on his birthday with new album ‘Been Bout It’

By Hazel Clementine

If you’re not hip to the eclectic rapper WiFiGawd, then you might want to catch up. The prolific Washington DC emcee got his start on Soundcloud, and proceeded to expand his style into boundless territory with each release. Collaborations with the likes of Black Kray and Tony Seltzer helped cement his status as an underground mainstay, while his solo works speak for themselves as well. A diverse artist, WiFiGawd’s output frequently blends elements of phonk, lo-fi, trap, and experimental hip-hop.

His newly released album Been Bout It, is bound to get you hooked. The relaxed, infectious flows over overly raw, bass-boosted trap beats will have your house, whip and headphones rattling from the get-go. “Hustle and Flow” is an atmospheric, charismatic head-trip of a track, while “Pocket Watchin'” really captures the essence of WiFiGawd’s sound with its character-rich, surreal style. “In My Lane” is another highlight on the album as he raps factual knowledge atop booming, textural production- reason being the first verse on the song is “they say I never miss I’m like Curry of this rap game”.

On Been Bout It, WiFiGawd indeed stays in his lane, as his style is immensely different than any rapper today. Gawd’s techniques are impeccable because of his sleek flows, abstract rhyme patterns and his ability to maintain an organic delivery atop any type of beat he flows over.
