Today we talk story with Hawaii's rising recording artist, Aries J. This year he released his new album, Category 5, as well as his new music video, "Stevie." In Hawaii, hip-hop is not showcased as much as Jawaiian music, but Aries J is breaking ground and showing that hip -hop has evolved here on the islands. Listen to his story and his advice on building your own brand here on this episode of Talk Story w/ Gaven Sugai. Editing and music by Kelsey Sugai. Shout outs to Rob Linogen aka @shotsbyrob, for some of the footage from Aries J's music videos. Check out more of Talk Story w/ Gaven Sugai here: https://taplink.cc/talkstorypodcast
