Koncept releases “Champagne Konny” EP featuring Paloalto

Koncept‘s “Champagne Konny” EP, which dropped last month, includes a track featuring Paloalto. And this fall, Koncept will return to Korea for a tour.

After two years touring around the world and spending a lot of time on the road in Asia, Koncept is now positioned right where he needs to be with his new album, “Champagne Konny.” With such a long time spent overseas, reflecting on everything that got him there, the results of victories and failures and everything in between, Koncept discovered a new perspective on his career and life in general, and this new project is his recharge into it all.

The lead single is Watch The Sky Fall 2 featuring Royce da 5’9, which part one was originally the lead single on Koncept’s debut album Awaken. The inspiration for the re-work came from tapping into where it all started for him, but with a zest for new life, adding in a new verse, and a new sound sonically.

The album also features the Korean Remix featuring the incredible Korean rapper, and Hi-Lite Records own, Paloalto, as well as a Thai Version with Thailand rapper and superstar Twopee Southside. Koncept brings his smooth effortless sounding East coast flavor that has passion, pain and love, and a moving energy that makes you inspired to go achieve all your own goals while you listen to this album.

Koncept said:
“When life seems to be falling apart and you’re feeling broken, you need to catch it, rebuild it, and make it stronger than you ever once believed it could be.”

This whole album was created on moods. There were no beats made, no rhymes written before going into the studio each day.
Every song was created in the moment from beginning to end.
Koncept created this album with his team in South Central at Lowe Key Studios with producer Wrist, and engineer, Mark “Keitel Jr.” Lowe, George Reichart, with additions from Bradley “Hugh” Denniston, and Karma from South Korea.

“I hope you love this album.
Play it from start to finish. This is an experience. A moment in time. An energy and mood that can’t be duplicated or replaced.”

KONCEPT releases single ‘Wait (feat. Ariano)’

Vismajor Company artist Koncept released his latest single ‘Wait’, premiering right here on HiphopKR!

Koncept, who recently signed with Korean hip-hop label Vismajor Company, released his new single titled ‘Wait’, which is about “being grateful for each moment and not losing sight of what and who you love.” The track is produced by Ariano (who has previously worked with artists including Snoop Dogg, Crooked I, and Heiroglyphics), who also sings the hook.

‘Wait’ is from Koncept’s album 14 Hours Ahead which is released through Sony Music Asia. Listen to the track below!

About the Artist

“Hailing from Queens, artist Koncept is trailblazing his own path in Asia’s music scene right now. What was originally planned as a two-week trip to Seoul, South Korea has evolved into the next chapter of his artistic journey.

On Thanksgiving evening last fall, Koncept flew out to Seoul for a two-week trip. He was set to perform at a show sponsored by Miller, and then another by Jameson Whiskey. The performance organically developed into a series of shows and bookings, a signing with Sony for this new album, and before he knew it, Koncept was putting down roots in a foreign country he never imagined calling home.

14 Hours Ahead isn’t just the time difference between countries, but also the moments in his life. This music is the reflection of doing better every time. Learning, growing, and believing in yourself. It’s seeing what’s in front of you, and going and getting it without letting in any interferences. 14 Hours Ahead is manifesting your future.”
