“Hoodied Up” is a love letter to the grind of growing up in the hood and overcoming every challenge thrown your way. HoodTrophy Bino and Bravo The Bagchaser link up in this single and video to reflect the realness of their lives, whether it’s love, struggle, or triumph. As Bino says, “From the Black-side to the Mexican-side, we both go through the same things – we gotta get ‘Hoodied Up!’”
"Hoodied Up" is all energy. It’s about finding joy and winning even when the odds are stacked against you. The hook smacks hard with lines like, “Ayee hoodied up /Remember when they told me I wasn’t good enough / Now I walk up on ‘em, walk ‘em down with a big stick.” That’s that “can’t stop, won’t stop” mindset, flipping hate into fuel. The beat is electric, and both Bino and Bravo bring their own style and flows, creating a perfect balance between struggle and celebration. It’s a track that feels like a victory lap the whole way through. The accompanying video was filmed during Bravo’s “Not Normal Tour” where Bino joined several of the dates, opening for Bravo. The visuals capture the rappers living a lavish life filled with good vibes and luxury that scream success. It’s the perfect backdrop for the track, adding to the energy of flexing on your come-up.
Having broken free from the struggles of gang life and poverty, Bino remains true to his roots while carving out a new path for himself. His journey is captured in the documentary The HoodTrophy Bino Story: Breaking the Generational Curse, which has earned over 61 awards in the film festival circuit this year. His single "I Want Her" ft. Kalan.FrFr was recently added to Power 106 FM, SiriusXM's The Heat, 97.9 La Raza and Power 96 in Miami. Watch “Hoodied Up” and take your victory lap.
