Marcus Johnson, formerly known as “vny.” is an Dallas / Jacksonville Texas artist. The “oof (kod) lifetime” rapper is known for his interesting formality in the way he talks about his cousins and is loved for his known ability to code switch during verse’s as if he’s having a conversation with you. His first project “LM3” was about the peace of mind in which safe spaces bring, especially in the most unknown places. Which then led to the recent project in late february of this year “Charcoal Baby”. Charcoal Baby proved that vny could do all and more not once but twice with hits like “oof (kod lifetime), “Eve” and hard hitting “nough’ said V2”. And once again the texas based artist has done the immaculate by dropping this fun hard hitting track produced by none other than LA’s up and coming producer JoeyHamhock. “odd deals was really a fun way of bringing people in my world with my friends” says the young writer, “me and my friend will use to freestyle in the car and this song really was just me showcasing my potential in which I tried to do but failed at in the truck”. vny and joey’s “isn’t it, omata?!” was the heart wrenching project that followed in november 2021. the hype of that and his opening performance for Isaiah rashad’s tour in dallas, texas brought him a bit of a fan base. following letter the next year he dropped “rabbit” an 8 track hard hitter on how your everyday struggle is okay to speak on was another ace.
