VINNY
Part of SOUNDCHECK
Sunday, January 25, 2026

A native of The Hague, doorman and rapper, who was considered a newcomer on the one hand. However, seasoned hip-hop fans know Vinny has been around for a while. From dreamy vocals on soulful compositions to uncompromising metaphors, sometimes taken from real life, skillfully sculpted into the compelling production work of regular producer LJ.

Not a new face on the hip-hop scene, but a consistently surprising one. With his new album, "Filantroop," Vinny tells a two-part story: from uncompromising and raw raps about growing up in a tough environment to offering an opening for peace and reflection. Where hope and self-awareness prevail. Besides releasing his new album, he was a guest on 101Barz last summer. In 2021, he surprised everyone with the track "Floris Bommel." For those in the know, this marked the start of a musical renaissance for this Hague giant, who had already earned his stripes in the city.
