VINYLZ PRODUCER TAG

Who voiced the Vinylz tag — and where did it come from?

A single spoken word — his name — dropped at the top of some of the biggest rap records of the mid-2010s. Vinylz kept the tag as minimal as his credits are massive.

Mentored by Boi-1da into Drake's orbit, his breakout “0 to 100 / The Catch Up” (2014) earned a Grammy nomination, and the quiet name-check became a mark of OVO-adjacent quality.

Nobody has publicly documented whose voice says it — one of several iconic tags with an anonymous narrator.

What songs use the Vinylz tag?

• 0 to 100 / The Catch Up — Drake (2014)
