CVTS is a curated selection of tracks created under the collaboration between North Carolina rapper, WNDRKND, & producer, PGMW. Featuring the singles Balaclava, Sorbet, & Deus, CVTS is a brief journey into sound, and produced with progression in mind. It is mood music: dark, spacious, and dramatic, but in the words of engineer, Scram, "its post-apocalyptic."

Featuring dark samples, spacious synths, and dramatic, baroque, lyricism,  CVTS is a project that attempts to pull something beautiful out of a perfectly deconstructed rap aesthetic. Flipped and freaked samples bounce through resonant, aggressive, drums, and serve as the canvas for lyrics about creativity, dominance, greed, life, and god.

We hope that you enjoy CVTS. No, it is not perfect. No, it will not serve to everybody's liking. In fact, it might piss some people off.  And if a lyric or two is fucky, consider this a note for listeners & future rappers: Don't write when you're drunk. But in all, these are the things we also have to accept as artists in order to sleep at night. Either way, no matter the summation of perfections and nuances that make CVTS, it is this much: a start.

Stay Alive,
WNDRKND x PGMW

WNDRKND (27) is a rapper hailing from Carrboro, NC. Originally born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, WNDRKND grew up listening to the modern-day gods. His continuous selections of Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem & B.I.G. showed an interest in intricate lyricism, but effectively paired with a pronouncedly dark & dramatic aesthetic which, at the time, was only visible through tales of the street. 
While his music isn’t ostensibly “street,” WNDRKND’s flavor of hip hop is markedly unique, described by some as post-apocalyptic, or industrial, rap. Taking departures from standard producing convention, each of his PGMW-laced tracks are cinematic, epic, spacious, dark, and progressive. 

If asked about his philosophy towards making hip hop, WNDRKND would say that it is an almost-religious experience, with creativity as the one true god. But above all else, regardless of ideology, WNDRKND believes that the ability to make music is a profound gift. 

Ultimately, however, WNDRKND just wants to spread the word, and get it out to the masses. While much of it focuses on life from his vantage point, there is something everyone can get out of his music. Whether it provokes thought, inspires dreams or galvanizes change, who knows? To him, all things are good.
