HoodTrophy Bino - "By Your Side" (Video)

Hoodtrophy Bino just dropped a heart melting new video for "By Your Side" from his new album HoodTrophy. This emotional track serves as a love letter to his daughter Milliani and his family, showcasing the artist's personal journey and deep family connections as he embarks on a new chapter in his career and life.

The music video for "By Your Side" was filmed in Chicago where Bino received the Community Awareness Award at the Tylerman Social Awareness Film Festival - one of the 61 awards that his documentary HoodTrophy Bino: Breaking the Generational Curse, has received so far in the festival circuit. Even the video shoot became a family affair, with Bino's extended family in attendance including his 86-year-old grandmother, a former Black Panther member, whose presence added a powerful generational dimension to the project.

"By Your Side" stands as a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and the resilience of the human spirit. Through his music and visual storytelling, HoodTrophy Bino continues to bridge personal narrative with broader themes of social justice, creating work that is both intimately touching and universally relevant. In a separate but related achievement, Bino's documentary won Best Short Documentary at the Black August Film Festival. This annual event, which began as a prison-based observance, commemorates Black freedom fighters and political prisoners while highlighting Black resistance against racial oppression. The festival's origins can be traced back to 1979 when it was initiated by the Black Guerilla Family in San Quentin State Prison - the same institution where Bino's father is currently serving a life sentence.

Hoodtropy Bino is gearing up to release his second full-length and is currently on a North American tour with Bravo the Bagchaser followed by 19 tour dates with Soulja Boy.
