South Florida producer creates trippy, lo-fi, airy take on hip-hop with new single ‘French’

MIAMI, FL – A chill track paired with hard-hitting 808s comes together for a unique new take on the R&B/hip-hop fusion with the new single “French” from Miami-based artist Reigng. This modern-day love song has a definitive hip-hop feel, thanks to the beats produced by Reigng, but its chill, laid-back vibe is distinctly R&B and perfectly suits the one-of-a-kind vocals of UK artist Shango SK. The two linked up through a mutual friend in the music industry, and collaborated with a third artist named Ashley Pater from Canada to create this soon-to-be-hit that’s slated to drop across all streaming platforms on June 4.

For years, Reigng has been producing beats that have been embraced by other artists. His style is one that focuses on getting a clean sound and he never sticks to any one genre. Instead, he lets the music speak to him, and his organic process can flow through anything from R&B to lo-fi to hip-hop and even rock or country, at times.

“My grandmother used to call me a jack of all trades because I would never stick to any one thing – I was always doing something different,” Reigng said. “I’ve tried to incorporate that into my music style, as well. Someone who reigns is like a ruler or a leader or the alpha, and me putting an extra g on the end of the name is like saying that I’m the leader of all different genres. But at the end of the day I hope my music is unpredictable. No one should ever really know what it is I’m releasing. The main thing I’d like to focus on is bringing a kind of trippy, lo-fi, airy take on hip-hop and R&B. And I’d really like to get to be known for this kind of soundscape sound, which people will hear with this new single ‘French.’”

Reigng said he first got into music when he was a child. His father played saxophone and was a DJ around town, and Reigng said he recalls many mornings during his childhood when his father would wake up the family by playing the sax. He experimented with music on his own throughout his teenage years, and then five years ago he and a cousin were messing around with beats and when he played one of his productions for his cousin, the response was far more exciting than he’d ever imagined. The encouragement he received made him want to dive even more deeply into music, and he hasn’t looked back since.

“Since then I’ve been working on releasing some instrumentals – synth-wave beats that are very lo-fi,” he said. “In 2021, I want to jump right back into hip-hop, and I already have sessions set up with local artists in Miami. A lot of artists will reach out to me via Instagram or email for collaborations, which is great because I really love to work with other artists. I’m definitely looking for a more international sound and alliances.”

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.
