When Melbourne rapper DEX started releasing tracks in 2016 the plan was to start a fire under Australia's perception of Hip Hop. Little did he know the release of debut LP Young Zen would damn near blow it up! At only 19 years old, single Rooftops portrayed an emotional emcee yearning for peace in the Melbourne music hustle, the 246,000+ streams he received for the track demonstrated he wasn't the one...
Continuing to connect with the new gen of Aus Hip Hop heads, iconic Bliss n Eso selected him for their national tour (playing to tens of thousands across the country) resulting in Dex earning his place at the table with the release of single 4AM (Feat. Allday). The track saw his first sold out venue and has since earned the emcee over a million streams for the track alone. Dex has since toured the country on his own headline tour performing Perth, Brisbane and Sydney, selling out further hometown venues across greater Melbourne.
Dex continues to draw outside the lines of rappers before him (whilst owning supports for the likes of Drapht, Esoterik, Ivan Ooze, Illy and Mantra), still demonstrating the versatility of collaborative linguistics with colleagues Esoterik and Allday.
With over 2 million streams across platforms, DEX is the walking personification of where Australian
Hip Hop is going, in footsteps all his own.
