Vinylz is the production name of Anderson Hernandez, a New York producer who became a frequent Drake collaborator starting in the mid-2010s. He is most associated with the If You're Reading This It's Too Late and Views eras, with credits on Energy, Know Yourself, One Dance, Hotline Bling, God's Plan, Nice for What, and In My Feelings. His drum programming tends toward sharp, syncopated hi-hat patterns and trap-leaning low end, often paired with melodic samples flipped by collaborators like Allen Ritter or Boi-1da. The bulk of his Drake work is co-produced rather than solo, and he is part of the production circle that drove Drake's late-2010s commercial peak when nearly every single charted globally. Outside Drake he has produced for Future, Travis Scott, Big Sean, Action Bronson, ASAP Ferg, Jay-Z, and DJ Khaled. He is also a co-founder of the production collective Cult Classics and has been a steady touchpoint for OVO when the label is sourcing harder, New York-leaning beats. His name appears on the credit list of multiple number-one singles in the Drake catalog, which is a rare distinction even among the top-tier in-house producers.
