Cerulli started his musical career in 2014 as a member of the trap collective Dark Polo Gang, along with Dark Side, Tony Effe, and Wayne Santana.[1] They grew up together in affluent neighborhoods of Rome and started rapping for fun during adolescence.[2] Their discography began with the 2015 mixtape Full Metal Dark, which was available for free download, followed by solo mixtapes. Pyrex released his mixtape The Dark Album on 31 October 2016.[3] Their subsequent albums achieved great success, reaching the number one spot on the FIMI Albums Chart three times with Twins (2017), Trap Lovers (2018), and Dark Boys Club (2020).[4][5] In 2021, the group went on hiatus to pursue solo careers.[6]

In 2022, Pyrex released the singles "Sinfonia della distruzione" and "Per averti", the latter in collaboration with Rkomi, which was certified gold.[7][8][9] On 11 May 2023, his debut solo album, Love Is War, was released under the name Dylan, peaking at number 18 on the Italian chart.[10]
