Koncept, “Seoul will always be a home of mine now” (Exclusive Interview)

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.”

The two are currently preparing an album together with rapper Koncept from New York who has recently released the music videos ‘Hug Someone‘, where he is spreading love in the streets of Seoul, and ‘Understand Me (Feat.
