MUSIC THAT BLEEDS. SCARS THAT SPEAK.

Cryptic Wisdom is the hybrid alt-rap project of Arizona-bred artist David Gonzalez, blending raw intensity with rock melodies and hard-hitting hip-hop lyricism. No genre is off limits. This is music born from pain—battles with sobriety, childhood trauma, heartbreak, and hopelessness—transformed into something powerful.

Vulnerability and grit run through every verse, creating a sound that nods to multiple genres but exists entirely on its own. This isn’t just music. It’s survival with a soundtrack.
