Mayfest Productions is thrilled to announce @bossman_dlow as the penultimate act for Dillo Day 2026!
The Florida born rapper first became known after dropping his mixtape ‘Too Slippery’ in 2023. His songs quickly gained traction due to their hype, anthem-like nature and their replayability on social media. He quickly became known for his signature rapid-fire rap style, nonchalant flow, and impeccable delivery. His debut album, Dlow Curry, features collaborations with GloRilla, Ice Spice, Babyface Ray, French Montana, Lil Baby, and NoCap, debuting at #36 on the Billboard 200.
In 2025 “Get In With Me” situated him in virality, and through his work, he’s continued to resonate with the Gen-Z audiences. Hits like “Mr. Pot Scraper, along his signature “Talk My Sh*t”, ultimately have solidified BossMan Dlow as a standout force in the modern rap scene. Overall, he’s become a staple of digital culture and has helped define the sound of a new generation.
Throughout his meteoric rise through the hip-hop ranks, BossMan Dlow has acquired several notable accolades, including high-profile collaborations with industry legends. Most recently, he teamed up with A$AP Rocky on the 2026 track “STOP SNITCHING” from the album Don’t Be Dumb, further establishing his versatility alongside artists such as Lil Baby and GloRilla. BossMan Dlow brings the kind of high-energy set that rap fans at Northwestern are looking for; with hits like “Motion Party” currently fueling dance challenges across the country, he offers a sound built for electric crowds filled with energy who are ready for booming hip-hop songs paired with witty lyricism.
Northwestern students will be sure to ‘Get In’ with BossMan for a wild ride at Dillo!

For Members Only is thrilled to announce @cochise as the new Penultimate performer at the
54th Dillo Day music festival!
Hailing from Palm Bay, Florida, Cochise first began making music in high school using a broken PlayStation microphone, uploading songs to SoundCloud after encouragement from classmates and family members who quickly recognized his talent. What started as experimentation fueled by curiosity soon evolved into a rapidly growing online following and the foundation of his artistic career.
Known for his colorful production, infectious ad-libs, and animated delivery, Cochise built a devoted fanbase through music that blends the creativity of SoundCloud rap with melodic flows and carefree energy. His sound also reflects elements of his Jamaican heritage, often
incorporating patois influences alongside playful cadences and vocal inflections, including the baby voice style that helped distinguish him early on.
His breakout came with viral singles such as “Hatchback” and “Tell Em” with $NOT, the latter becoming a major commercial success and helping propel Cochise into the mainstream. Tracks like “Pocket Rocket” further showcased his ability to create high-energy records that resonated across streaming platforms and social media, contributing to hundreds of millions of streams and solidifying his place within a new generation of internet-native rap artists.
In 2022, Cochise was selected for the XXL Freshman Class, marking a major milestone in his career. While his early music became known for its explosive energy and hyperactive flows, Cochise has continued evolving his sound in recent years. Newer releases like “Geeked,” “Lay Up,” and “Yoshimitsu” explore a more atmospheric and cloud rap-inspired direction, balancing his signature charisma with a more laid-back and immersive style.
Part of what has made him stand out is his willingness to embrace individuality and experimentation. As Cochise enters a new era in his career, he continues expanding on the sound that first brought him recognition while pushing toward new creative territory.
We’re excited to welcome Cochise to Dillo Day—come tell ‘em wassup at our stage!

Mayfest Productions is thrilled to announce @jaephens as our opener for Dillo Day 2026!
Blending R&B, pop, and early-2000s nostalgia with a fresh, futuristic edge, Jae Stephens has quickly established herself as one of the most exciting rising voices in music. Originally from Dallas and raised in Pasadena, Stephens first built a following online before developing into a singer, songwriter, and producer with a distinct sound and sharp creative vision. Her music feels both familiar and new, pulling from the smoothness of classic R&B while bringing the confidence and energy of modern pop.
Stephens has continued to gain attention through projects like High My Name Is, SELLOUT, and SELLOUT II, along with standout tracks like “WET,” “Body Favors,” and “Girls Don’t Cheat.” Beyond her own releases, she has also written for major artists and collaborated across the R&B and pop world, showing the range of her talent both in front of and behind the scenes. Her work with Raedio and Def Jam has helped position her as an artist to watch, especially as she brings more space for Black women in pop and alternative R&B.
Bringing Jae Stephens to Dillo Day is especially exciting because her music matches the energy of a festival crowd: fun, stylish, confident, and easy to move to. As mainstage opener, Stephens will help set the tone for the day, bringing a performance that feels fresh while still connecting to Dillo Day’s history of highlighting artists on the rise. Her set will offer students the chance to experience an artist entering a major new era, making her a strong and memorable addition to the 54th Dillo Day lineup.
