Scarborough Rapper Vinnin Inks Deal With EMPIRE
Vinnin, the 19-year-old musical prodigy who recently inked a distribution deal with EMPIRE, has once again demonstrated his meteoric rise in the music industry. His latest triumph comes from his single “See Me Now,” collaborated with popular Scarborough producer, Yanchan, which has been crowned the #41 position on Vevo’s esteemed Teen Hip-Hop and R&B Chart.
“See Me Now,” a mesmerizing composition that seamlessly blends elements of hip-hop and R&B, has captured the hearts of fans and industry professionals alike. Vinnin’s ability to craft compelling narratives through his music is evident in this track, as he navigates themes of self-discovery and empowerment, resonating profoundly with his listeners.
“We’re witnessing an artist in the making,” remarked A&Rs at EMPIRE. “Vinnin’s knack for creating music that speaks to the youth culture is undeniable. His dedication to his craft is inspiring, and his rise on Vevo’s Teen Hip-Hop and R&B Chart is a testament to his unwavering talent.”
Vinnin’s journey from his early days making music in his bedroom to his current status as an emerging sensation has been marked by a series of achievements that continue to set him apart. With his debut single “Top of the Game” earning a spot on the NBA 2K21 soundtrack and his recent success on Vevo’s chart, Vinnin’s trajectory is one that exemplifies the power of youthful passion and artistic innovation.
“I am humbled and excited by the response ‘See Me Now’ has received,” Vinnin expressed. “This recognition on Vevo’s chart is a huge milestone for me, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share my music with the world.”
Having been a part of this year’s Kothu Fest lineup and delivering an electrifying performance at Yonge and Dundas Square, right in front of the iconic Eaton Centre, he is now poised to take his talent even further. The spotlight continues to shine on him as he prepares to open for Jay Critch’s highly anticipated show in Waterloo. The journey from local stages to sharing the spotlight with renowned artists marks a remarkable ascent for him in the music scene.
As Vinnin’s journey unfolds under the guidance of EMPIRE, the music world eagerly anticipates the next chapter of his artistic evolution. With a devoted fan base and impressive accomplishments, Vinnin is poised to solidify his place among the industry’s brightest stars.
Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.
The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”
Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.
The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.
Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.
“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.
“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.
EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.
