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 Recordsown, 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, as well as George Reichart, 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.
