The Making Of Kodak Black's "No Flockin" With VinnyxProd | Deconstructed

Kodak Black’s 2014 track “No Flockin” helped put the Florida rapper on the map for the first time. Since then, it’s found a new-and even more popular-life as part of Cardi B’s No. 1 hit “Bodak Yellow.” “No Flockin” is produced by VinnyxProd, who got his first big break with the track.

[@sylascoker1483]

You guys don’t fucking know that this guy right here made Cardi B mainstream because of “Bodak Yellow”, without Kodak picking the beat up and running with it and popping off, cardi wouldn’t have remixed it so technically this kid created 2 mainstream artists all because of 1sick ass beat

[@stephengallic8556]

Sylas Coker i wonder what kinda money he got for it after cardi got it and blew up. Good for him i hope it was a life changing one.

[@jo-esttan3242]

[@insekkt]

So your telling if I get pissed I can make a nice beat?

[@nomoriplex]

Br Uh it's about emotion

[@insekkt]

Fat Kris and it’s about being sarcastic

[@ChrisKtheProducer]

Sometimes its like that fr

[@Betrayal]

When I get pissed the only thing that makes me feel good is pouring it into a beat and feeling it out and the emotion of the song as I make it

[@Leotique]

yes

[@skoolwifi3835]

The choir is what slammed this song to platinum. The horns were great and the bass ripples through my headphones but that choir gives such a Revelations vibe.

[@AdhdKP]

Nah bruh it was definitely the reggae bass

[@OG777x]

"I was in college, I hated school" Same bruhhhh

[@jacobphillips4584]

As a new producer, "It kept going, I definitely didn't expect that, next thing you know, this track becomes certified platinum" sent chills down my spine, pure motivation.

@@KreysHealth that’s not what that means 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@KreysHealth]

@@prod.justjae9957 you can only get royalties if you own the beat. But the producer sold Kodak that beat so Kodak owns it. So the producer doesn’t own the beat anymore so the producer gets no royalties at all.

Wish I had friends that were producers so I could just watch them craft. This was so cool to see it all come together

[@wittyxbaby]

I hope he got paid

[@PrinceSwaggy]

witledge G same

[@YNGRADIO]

witledge G usually producers sell the exclusive rights to the beat for like $300 so he probably just got that 300 only and any money made from the song goes to kodak

[@djsoundzofficial]

Dank Memer yeah. But if you got your business right you can earn royalties even after you sold it for $300 it's called an Exclusive lease agreement

[@anttttmannnn]

SoundzonthetrackVevo but he probably thought it was just another beat like 99% of producers on a small scale

[@204joey2]

Producers usually make much more money than the rapper did on the track.

[@yungdeenobeats5937]

U can’t describe the feeling of the beat, but I would say both horror and happy elements, when those pads start fading in then it’s like horror is beginning, when the choirs and the leads join together it’s a war then finally when those lex luger orcs play it’s like a halt then it all starts again verse 2 but different, I love this beat definitely one of the best imo...
