Dennis Bouman (born May 3, 1970[1]), known professionally as Def Rhymz,[2] is a Surinamese-Dutch rapper best known for his humouristic raps. He was the first Dutch rapper ever to hit the number 1 spot on the Dutch charts, with two songs: Doekoe in 1999[3] and Schudden in 2001.[4]

Bouman went on to collaborate with the otherwise English-language trio Postmen on a cover-version of De Bom,[5] the chart-topping 1982-hit by pop/reggae-band Doe Maar for inclusion on a tribute-album.

Besides performing, Bouman also works as a head-chef.[6]
