Dharius, born Alan Alejandro Maldonado Tamez in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1984, is a rapper and songwriter known for his raw style, fast-paced delivery, and deep roots in Mexican hip-hop. His musical journey began in the underground rap scene of the 1990s, first with Los Pattos and later with Punto Demente, before gaining national attention as a founding member of La Real Academia de la Rima. In 2002, he joined Cártel de Santa, where he played a key role in defining their aggressive, streetwise sound across multiple albums, including Vol. II (2004), Volumen ProIIIbido (2006), and Sincopa (2010). After a decade with the group, he embarked on a solo career, releasing Directo Hasta Arriba (2014), which introduced his signature party-driven, West Coast-inspired flow. His follow-up albums, Mala Fama, Buena Vidha (2018) and Cuando Todo Acaba (2022), further solidified his status in Latin rap. A key player in Mexico’s hip-hop movement, he has collaborated with major figures like Santa Fe Klan, C-Kan, and Gera MX, with viral hits such as "Todos En La Cuadra Bien Locos." In 2024, he dropped his fourth full-length El diablo, la muerte y yo.
