That same year, he signed with Interscope Records,
Wifisfuneral's Interscope/Alamo deal was publicly announced in March 2017, not in 2018.
Full reasoning
This sentence refers back to 2018 (the year of Wifisfuneral's XXL Freshman selection), but multiple contemporaneous XXL reports show his label deal was already announced the previous year.
- XXL's March 18, 2017 article "Wifisfuneral Signs to Interscope and Alamo Records" says he had already "ink[ed] a deal with Interscope/Alamo Records."
- XXL's March 28, 2017 Freshman-pitch article likewise says: "At this year's SXSW, he signed to Interscope and Alamo Records."
- XXL's August 31, 2017 profile says Todd Moscowitz signed him to Alamo Records, and that the deal "was announced during SXSW this year"—again placing the signing in 2017.
So the page's wording is inaccurate because it places the signing in 2018, even though reliable contemporaneous coverage documents the deal in 2017.
