Jo. Flip | “FROZEN,” Two Minutes Of Punk Rock Energy
Rapper Jo. Flip and producer VININ bring an aesthetically pleasing blend of punk rock and emo rap to the scene with their latest single, “FROZEN.” The two-minute song is a heater, pulling inspiration from some of the industry’s most recognizable names, including Juice WRLD, Blink 182, and iann dior.
Jo. Flip is from Florida but is currently based in Greenville, South Carolina. From an early point in his life, the artist was drawn to music. And by the time he entered college, Jo. Flip knew music was something he had to pursue with all his heart.
Regarding VININ, the gifted producer currently resides in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Like Jo. Flip, the producer was drawn to music at a very early moment in his life. By the time VININ was a junior in high school, he was taking his production and music career seriously.
I think the experience and knowledge that I gained from producing EDM has helped in giving me an edge over other producers and gives me a unique sound – VININ.
The beat featured in “FROZEN” instantly captures your attention. An iann dior-inspired guitar melody glides through the speakers, hitting all the right parts of your ear. After a few moments of the guitar melody, Jo. Flip’s vocals are carefully layered over alongside an emo-rap bass pattern.
The rhythm that VININ crafted for the track is perfect; there’s no other way to put it. The producer knew he wanted to create a pop/rock vibe from the jump. And as he began creating the rhythm, he drew more audio inspiration from iann dior and Dro Kenji, which he attests helped him shape the melodic sound and drum patterns.
Adding even more to the song are Jo. Flip’s vocals. It sounds almost as if the rapper’s voice was made especially for this song. For instance, Jo. Flip delivers a classic punk rock style as he belts out the all-too-relatable lyrics.
We both agreed that this would be a perfect track to blend that classic rock sound with the new age sound of the SoundCloud rap era – Jo. Flip.
Jo. Flip and VININ are a rapper/producer duo you don’t wanna ignore. As Jo. Flip said during our interview, “It seems that we have the same pair of ears on different bodies.”
That said, VININ and Jo. Flip’s styles embody the word “cohesive.” And as a result of the beat matching the vocal style, songs like “FROZEN” hit hard.
Make sure you give Jo. Flip a follow on Instagram (and do the same for VININ) to keep up to date with the latest upcoming projects (which there’ll be plenty of). The duo has dedicated their creative energy to making fire music together. That said, you can expect a single every Friday from Jo. Flip and VININ in 2024.
After hearing “FROZEN,” you’ll understand why this musical duo is continuing to work together. So go stream “FROZEN” right away and see what you’re missing!
