Frank Ocean, born Christopher Francis Ocean on October 28, 1987, is a well-regarded American singer, songwriter, and rapper, known for his unique, avant-garde musical style and introspective, elliptical lyrics. He was a member of the hip-hop collective Odd Future and gained prominence with his debut mixtape, 'nostalgia, ULTRA,' followed by critically acclaimed albums 'channel ORANGE' and 'Blonde'. Raised by a music-loving mother, Ocean decided to become a songwriter at the tender age of thirteen, and by high school, he was already recording music. Throughout the 2010s, Ocean emerged as a fascinating figure in contemporary music, with his artful output transcending rigid genre classifications, particularly R&B, and moving the genre forward with detailed narrative storytelling. The song 'Wiseman' by Frank Ocean, although initially unreleased and written in 2012 for the movie Django Unchained, later found its way to the public when Ocean posted it on his Tumblr page on December 23, 2012. A sped-up version of 'Wiseman' has garnered attention, especially on platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud. This version was notably used as a sample in Drake's song "Virginia Beach." It's also been shared by users on platforms like SoundCloud and has even been paired with visuals from Django Unchained in certain YouTube uploads, showcasing the high-quality audio of the sped-up rendition of 'Wiseman'. The sped-up version showcases a different auditory experience of the song while maintaining the emotional resonance of the original composition. Learn more about your ad choices.
