Vlad

**Vlad** is a rising Portuguese rapper and songwriter carving out space in Europe's hip-hop scene with his gritty lyricism and genre-blurring sound. Hailing from Lisbon's suburbs, his music often fuses trap beats with Afro-Portuguese rhythms, tackling themes like street life, ambition, and societal pressures in tracks like "Cadáveres no Cais" and "Poder & Glória". His bilingual flows (switching between Portuguese and English) and collaborations with artists like Holly Hood and Lhast have made him a standout in Portugal’s rap wave. Releases like "DÁ-ME MAIS" and "Let Me Go" showcase his knack for moody, anthemic hooks, while his raw storytelling in "Street Girl" and "Hora H" reflects his roots in Lisbon’s urban culture. Vlad keeps his mystique intact—no viral gimmicks, just steady drops that resonate with fans of unfiltered, bass-heavy hip-hop.
