Having been blessed to spend the past two years on the road — with much of that time spent in Asia — Brown Bag All-Stars alumni Koncept is preparing to drop his new album this summer.
Fresh off of a sold-out tour in South Korea/Japan with Scoop Deville, the Queens (New York) native tells HipHopDX about the first single “Watch The Sky Fall 2” featuring elite MC Royce Da 5’9”.
“Obstacles, problems, and fails … you have to roll with them and use them to better yourself and make you stronger,” Koncept says of the song’s message.
“When The Sky Falls 2” is an updated revisit of the original 2011 version (also featuring Royce) which was produced by Marco Polo. The update, as he explains, was him tapping into where it all started — but with a zest for new life
“Working with Royce was a blessing,” he says of the collaboration. “[He’s] undeniably one of the best and definitely one of my biggest inspirations as a rapper … so to have him on my song is an honor. He murdered it.
The song is the first taste of Champagne Konny, due out this August. Having been able to let the smoke settle after the past few years, he says the album is an evolution of himself as an artist.
“This new album [Champagne Konny] is the new improved better me … after being on the road for so long out of the country, and reflecting on everything leading up to this point,” he says. “I feel recharged and more inspired than ever before.”

He trash. I can see why Brown Bag All-Stars kicked him out
Lol at the independent VH1 rapper biting drakes d Twitter handle and changing it to champagne Konny. You didn’t make it in New York, your music is garbage, everyone in Warwick says so, go back to south east Asia. You suck Keith
yeah weakest member of Brown Bag, glad they gave him the axe LOL
And where are you right now?
I’m able to walk into my hometown with my head held high. Keith Whitehead makes garbage music.
I invented hip hop in Orange County, do your research young ins, the library’s open 7 days a week.
I’m from Warwick. You have and always will be a loser crackhead
You and Damon have been statutory rapists in the town of Warwick to Jackson white children for over 20 years. You suck, Keith sucks, Damon sucks, townie trash
I like the first one better but this is nice too.
Im a huge fan of brown bag too. But let’s be real Soul Khan and Koncept were the best on the mic. J57s rhymes and beats are cool. Doc’s beats are crazy.
Lmao Keith your such a joke. Nobody from Warwick bumps your vhi macklemore music
Great work as always.
trash voice MC trying too hard, was better in BBAS
Why the fuck the negativity… i know some mentioned were pieces of shit growing up in the wick … and seems to be havent still grown up haters still living in moms basement or a roach motel
Shut the fuck up Keith. Your music sucks dick
Big up to Kieth for doing his thing. The biggest haters are always from where you grow up. Nobody wanna see anyone doing better and wanna steal someone else’s shine. Props to champagne konny
Is the music really good though? And if his high school friends are interacting on his post, really must not be many fans, the music speaks for itself. It’s objectively s Macklemore type album. That’s what you like?
Apparently I got an imposter posting using my name … lol dick riders … peace Koncept aka Keith you know the truth … my previous comment has already been deleted … bunch of crumbs .. good work famo much love … and to all those haters come see me I will smack the shit out you .. and to the lonely lost soul using my name … smh sorry I never gave you a beat to rock on … you weren’t worthy
If you want to make this into a thing, we can talk to the girl who accused you and Damon and the. Inform the cops. You were both at least in your late 20s and she was 16. You’re a creepy rapist
Damn, good work by Kon dope piece too!
Jesus Christ wtf is this music, this is Macklemore gay wedding rap,. A wild flamboyant homo would frost his tips, turn his trucker hat to the side and dance with his husband to this fruity vhi world pop garbage. It makes me want to kill my self
