Washington D.C. Rapper Aria Drops, “Ion Die”

by The Alchemist

ARIA is a 21-year old rapper, songwriter and producer from Washington, D.C. He is a student at American University, and he turned down multiple scholarship offers so that he was able to focus on music while going to school. In the last 12 months, ARIA’s releases amassed more than 30 million cumulative streams across digital platforms; going viral on Global Shazam, Apple, iTunes and Deezer charts, and hitting the #1 spot on Hype Machine. The love of this quickly rising artist’s gifts have spilled into every other facet of the music industry; after signing to Waves With Words under the Grammy Award Winning Producer & Engineer, DJ Swivel, 2020 is poised to be a breakout year for this rising star!

 

His newest track is called, “Ion Die” produced by Grammy award winning producer DJ Swivel and Sermstyle. Aria drops some very memorable bars on the track that are stated in a flow that get stuck in your head even when the song is over. Check it out below.  The song starts with the hook singing, “Tear this club by its sides, like 11:45, told you way too many times, sh*t ain’t right, Ion Die, Ion Die” and I can guarantee your head will be nodding within seconds of listening to this portion. The beat makes the listener imagine they are jumping up and down in a crowd full of people, despite most people likely listening in a very isolated area during their quarantine. Check out the track below!

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
