International tour in preparation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The success of Monnaie<\/strong><\/em> only reinforces the ambitions of the MC Aswell<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aswell<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who follow the evolution of French-speaking rap, Aswell<\/strong> is undoubtedly a name to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
