Always a treat here at Alchemical Records, ARIA, joined by KDDK and G Herbo, has released yet another instant favorite, “Broken Wings.”
Washington-D.C. based songwriter, producer, and rapper ARIA’s record speaks for itself. The 23-year-old’s growing discography has already amassed over a hundred million streams, climbing charts on Apple, Deezer, and iTunes – and landing a #1 spot on Hype Machine. You can catch them next month at the virtual KYS Fest!
Alongside ARIA is Russian hip-hop/rap/EDM artist Kirill Dzham, professionally known as KDDK. KDDK has collaborated with industry heavyweights, including Imanbek, Rompasso, and Fetty Wap. The artist’s music is known for “blending unsuspecting genres to map the blueprint of his unique musical perspective.” KDDK is described fittingly as “a certified controller of sound with a devoted and ever-growing fanbase.”
The third collaborator is Chicago based artist G Herbo. With collaborations alongside Earl Sweatshirt, Lil Yatchy, Common, and an abundance of celebrated projects like his breakout Pistol P mixtape and his Billboard chart-topping debut album Humble Beast, G Herbo’s influence on modern culture is unmistakable.
“I recorded my part on ‘Broken Wings’ before anyone really even knew what the song was going to be,” explains ARIA. “Just watching the song come together in itself was art to me. It went from being just a great verse and hook to a smash-hit of a song. Shoutout to KDDK for bringing it all together and G Herbo for hitting his verse out of the park.”
“Broken Wings” encourages listeners to never give up.
These broken wings will fly
Still be here tomorrow
We will never die
You and I
