WIZE by Coleman Perin

This is my debut rap/hip hop album. "WIZE"
Over the span of over 2 years (late 2017-2019) Through multiple re-recordings and changes to the track list it finally released July 11, 2019

At the time I was going by "CNKP" (Coleman Nikola Kenneth Perin) which is what is depicted on the cover.
Before the album dropped I decided to ditch the rap name and just sport my first and last name for the release.
The cover was never altered and I decided not to alter it to preserve the memory of my original stage name.
The cover was designed by Nick Chattington. Nick did an incredible job of turning my vision and idea into a reality, it reflects a contrast of beauty and pain and the fine line we walk between them.

WIZE was kind of the name of my collective growing up in my formative teen years.
Originally the idea for the name came from a close friend Danny Pronkewich who popularized it among us.
The name stuck and "WIZE GANG" was born, The sort of Pro Era type of connection where art and brotherhood was the priority and inspiration.
I wanted to name the album something that captured the frame of such a special time in my life where I was really starting to come out of my shell and realize my potential as someone who could be taken seriously as an artist and not just a hobby rapper/musician.

I wanted to display my versatility and way of seamlessly switching styles and moods to cater to a wide variety of vibes.
Much like the cover expresses I tried to capture the essence of my sadness and happiness In a way that almost seemed bipolar.
The frantic switch ups and lack of perpetuity is an intentional trait and definitely reflects the pace and tone of how my mind works.

Entirely recorded with Zarnoosh Bilimoria (XNRA at the time) at his home studio.
Zarnoosh also handled the mixing, mastering & The instrumentals to Natural Selection, Gone & 1:55 AM

The album was released under my own independent label WIZE Recordings
