Viral Star D’rock Delivers Downtempo Spanglish Heat with New Music Single + Video “Don’t Wanna Talk” @drockPF
What’s dead is dead for Cape Verde artist D’rock. With the release of new single, “Don’t Wanna Talk,” the rising star finds a way to transform his feelings of betrayal into R&B magic.
In both English and Spanish, D’rock airs his grievances with a past love over rhythmic drill-style production for a passionate expression of pain. The moody record is relatable for anyone who has felt fed up in a relationship, not receiving the same amount of love and respect as they put forth.
“The song is inspired by being in a relationship that consists of lies and betrayal. Having a partner that plays the victim and keeps all their dark secrets in the closet.” – D’rock
Viral sensation and artist D’rock makes music for dreamers. The 23-year-old Cape Verde native radiates positivity and is the true embodiment of the word “hustle”. Coming to America and ultimately finding his home in Los Angeles, his smooth vocals and poignant lyrics seek to inspire those who have faced hardship as he once did. D’rock’s music is a unique brand of hip-hop with a heavy island influence stemming from his Cape Verdean heritage. His infectious smile and sunny disposition captivates audiences everywhere and has earned him over a million followers across Instagram and TikTok. D’rock steps into a new era with the release of his new single “Arenas” and shows his already massive fanbase that he is just getting started.

(Video) HoodTrophy Bino – “By Your Side” @binngobino
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.
