The new single and music video “123” from Hoodtrophy Bino and Lefty Gunplay! Their new collaboration sends out a powerful message to the world – never underestimate.
In an industry that exploits street life, “123” stands out for its honesty. It proves that being from the streets doesn’t mean being blind to the world. Bino adds, “ ‘123’, the title of the song, is a play on words. People think we’re slow. We’re showing we can count to three. We’re smarter than you think – we’re in your face. We play dumb but we’re smart.” Behind the verses, “123” has a melodic backdrop that blends delicate guitar strums with hard-hitting percussion, for a juxtaposition that mirrors the song’s emotional duality.

On the collaboration with Lefty Gunplay, Bino adds, “Lefty is one of those ese’s in the city that CBFW. I love him like a brother. Me and him share a lot of the same similarities. He’s good hearted; a real one. He doesn’t fake the love or the hate. If he don’t f with you, then he don’t f with you. I took him to his first courtside NBA game. We hang out together. We try to break that division between the Hispanics and Blacks.”
“I’m not here because I’m the best, I’m here because they tried to break me and they couldn’t.”
From gang life to global stages, Hoodtrophy Bino’s story is one of transformation. After meeting Soulja Boy in jail and joining S.O.D.M.G., he’s turned his pain into power—touring the country and sharing his path through the acclaimed documentary Breaking the Generational Curse.
Bino’s recent performances include a current tour with Soulja Boy and a performance alongside Soulja at Rolling Loud Los Angeles. Known for his raw and unfiltered sound, Bino’s latest project, Chosen Few, features the breakout single “I Want Her” with Kalan.FrFr – currently earning national airplay on stations such as SiriusXM The Heat, Power 106, 96.1 The Beat, Power 105 NY, and major platforms like SneakerCon, the LA Clippers, and the Rams. His upcoming full-length album, CBFW, is set to drop in late summer 2025, with guest appearances from Lefty Gunplay, NoCap, and more to be announced.
