Rels B Live in Concert
Spanish rapper Rels B -- also known as Rels Beats, Daniel Vidal, Flakk Daniel, and Skinny Flakk -- is one of the premier success stories of the social-media age. Blending trap, reggaeton, Latin soul and Spanish folk, Rels B has attracted a global fanbase with his relaxed delivery and ultra-personal lyrics.
Born in 1993 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Rels B (born Daniel Vidal) got his start in music quite early, producing his and friends' mixes as a pre-teen. In his early 20s, Rels B started rapping and was mentored by producers Itchy and Buco Sounds. In 2014, Rels B released his first EP, Change Or Die, which gained popularity across streaming platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud.
In 2015, Rels independently released his debut album, Player Hater. His sophomore LP, Boys Don't Cry, followed in 2016, featuring the single "Re-member" and was a huge chart success in his home country of Spain, peaking at No. 12. In 2016, he also released the singles "Made in Taiwan" and "Money Maker."
Rels continued to release music year over year, dropping the four-track Nueva Generación (with Indigo Jams) in 2017 featuring the single "A Solas." The rapper subsequently released a handful of club staples, including "Libres," Rock & Roll," Girlfriend," and "El Mejor." Rels also released his Inéditos LP in 2017 featuring the single "Skinnyflakkkkkkk'' and "Hood Girl."
From 2018 to 2022, Rels kept releasing studio albums, including 2018's Vida Play and Flakk Daniel's LP, 2019's Happy Birthday Flakko, 2020's La Isla LP, and 2022's Smile Bix:).
