DILLAZ

Dillaz, whose real name is André Filipe Chapelas Neto, is a Portuguese rapper and lyricist born on May 5, 1991, in Alcabideche, Cascais. Regarded as one of the most authentic and respected voices in contemporary Portuguese hip-hop, Dillaz has built a consistent and solid career, staying true to his roots and creative vision.

He first gained attention through underground releases, where his raw yet poetic lyrics, blending urban storytelling with introspection and social commentary, quickly set him apart. With a unique delivery and a distinctive lyrical style, he rose to prominence within the Portuguese music scene.

In 2016, Dillaz released Reflexo, his debut studio album, which marked a turning point in his artistic journey. This was followed by Oitavo Céu (2022), which showed his lyrical growth and musical maturity. His most ambitious and successful project to date, O Próprio (2024), debuted at No. 1 on the national album charts, broke national streaming records on Spotify, and won the Album of the Year award at the 2025 Play Awards.

Despite his growing success, Dillaz maintains a low public profile, choosing to let his music speak for itself. This authenticity, along with his lyrical depth and creative consistency, has earned him a loyal fanbase and made him a key reference in the evolution of Portuguese hip-hop.
