Daniel Heredia Vidal, known as Rels B or 'Skinny Flakk,' is a pivotal figure in the Spanish urban scene, representing the bridge between traditional hip-hop and the global explosion of melodic trap and reggaeton. Emerging from Mallorca, his sound is deeply influenced by the laid-back atmosphere of the Balearic Islands, which manifests as a 'sunny' or 'breezy' quality even in his more melancholic tracks.
His career arc shows a steady evolution from boom-bap roots toward a sophisticated blend of R&B, soul, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Critically, he is praised for his independence and his ability to maintain a massive global following without relying on major label machinery for his initial rise. His influence is seen in the 'softening' of Spanish trap, where emotional vulnerability and melodic hooks have become as valuable as lyrical dexterity. He occupies a unique space as a 'rapper for people who love pop' and a 'pop star with rapper credibility,' making him a cornerstone of the contemporary Spanish-speaking music world.
