Rels B

Rels B, born Daniel Heredia Vidal, is a Spanish rapper and singer from Palma de Mallorca who has become one of the most influential figures in Spanish-language urban music. Growing up on the island of Mallorca, he developed a love for hip-hop and began writing and recording music as a teenager. He adopted the stage name Rels B (short for “Relajao B”) and started releasing music independently through online platforms, building a grassroots following in the Spanish rap community.

Rels B’s rise came through a steady stream of mixtapes and singles released on YouTube and SoundCloud throughout the mid-2010s. His laid-back flow, melodic approach to rap, and introspective lyrics set him apart from the more aggressive styles dominating Spanish hip-hop at the time. Projects like Flakk Season (2014) and Ambition Musikk (2016) showcased his versatility and ability to blend trap, R&B, and traditional hip-hop elements. His track “A Mi” became one of his early viral hits and demonstrated his crossover appeal.

By the late 2010s and early 2020s, Rels B had established himself as one of Spain’s top-streaming artists. His debut studio album, 33, released in 2023, was a commercial and critical triumph, debuting at the top of the Spanish charts and generating massive streaming numbers. The album featured collaborations with prominent Latin artists and showcased his growth as a songwriter and producer. Singles from the album accumulated hundreds of millions of streams across platforms.

Rels B is known for his independent spirit and his decision to maintain creative control over his music. He has built his career largely without relying on a major label, which has endeared him to fans and fellow artists alike. His live performances have evolved from small club shows to arena-level concerts across Spain, Latin America, and beyond, establishing him as one of the most important Spanish-language artists of his generation.
