Aswell, the rise of the Quebec rapper

On August 15, 2025, he unveiled his new piece Monnaie, an exit already noticed.

In the effervescence of Quebec rap, a name is becoming more and more essential: Aswell. In a few years, the artist has built a unique musical universe, mixing rap, emo and urban pop sounds. With more than 18,700 subscribers on YouTube and millions of cumulative streams, it now attracts attention far beyond its local scene.

Product alongside Charles Madore, the title perfectly illustrates the recipe that makes its success: a melodic flow, catchy choruses and an introspective writing, faithful to the authenticity it claims. In the continuity of his album Banlieue, Aswell navigates between vulnerability and raw energy, offering music capable of reaching a large audience that is not limited to Quebec.

The universe of the rapper Aswell really revealed in 2021 with his EP Solo, which opened the doors to a first sold-out tour for him. But it was in the spring of 2024 that he made a big splash with his first album Banlieue, totaling over 25 million streams.

International tour in preparation

The success of Monnaie only reinforces the ambitions of the MC Aswell. The artist has already announced a tour between Europe and North America. Among the most anticipated dates: Paris (La Boule Noire, December 2025), then Montreal and Quebec in spring 2026. Concerts that promise to be intense, carried by an increasingly loyal audience.

Aswell is not only on the rise: he is in the process of confirming that he belongs to the new generation of French-speaking artists capable of making a lasting impact on the international scene.

For those who follow the evolution of French-speaking rap, Aswell is undoubtedly a name to remember.
