Aries Live at Melkweg Amsterdam

Aries returns to Melkweg after three years. The American rapper has always moved along the edges of the mainstream, living as an outsider. During YouTube’s creative boom, he gained recognition by dissecting the music of artists like Drake and Lil Uzi Vert in meticulous detail. At the same time, Aries was developing his own artistic vision, which ultimately placed him within an online-driven musical movement that helped redefine the face of alternative music. His command of experimental hip-hop is stronger than ever, and he shifts effortlessly between styles, carried by his smooth, unmistakable voice that balances on the edge between pop and something much darker. Aries has always kept much of himself guarded, but with his latest release GLASS JAW, he reveals his most personal work to date.
