Rui Wen Pan (born 12 August 1992), professionally known as Vinnyx (formerly VinnyxProd), is a Canadian record producer and songwriter. He is known for producing the RIAA certified double-platinum song "No Flockin" by American rapper Kodak Black.[1][2] Following the success of the record, Vinnyx secured a publishing deal with Entertainment One Music.[3][4]
Career[edit]
In a video interview with Genius, Vinny stated he started producing beats in college, first using GarageBand before transitioning to Logic Pro.[5] He began posting beats on YouTube, where Kodak Black found the beat that would become the song "No Flockin." Speaking on the song in the interview, he stated, "You couldn't really put a name to what type of beat it is. That flow from Kodak, that was like a very distinctive flow. And I felt like it really embraced what I was feeling when I was making the instrumental." The song eventually turned into a sleeper hit that took over two years to become RIAA platinum certified.[2] No Flockin reached number 95 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 2017.[6] Cardi B stated in a MTV interview that No Flockin was the inspiration behind her Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit "Bodak Yellow.[7]
Vinny credits many Toronto artists for influencing him to start producing mainstream music, including The Weeknd, PartNextDoor, and Majid Jordan.[8] Following the success of No Flockin, Vinny has worked with other major artists including Lil Skies, MoneyBagg Yo, Soulja Boy, and Blocboy JB.[9][10][11][12]
