Louisiana rapper Scrooge McBucks drops
sexy new R&B single ‘If You Wit It’

SHREVEPORT, LA – Ra El Bey is one of those rare people who can eat as much as they want and never get fat. And he was stingy, so this was the source of an inside joke for his friends growing up, and led to him earning the nickname Scrooge.

Scrooge is also passionate about music. It has surrounded him his entire life and as he’s grown in confidence and skill, the music of his life has become more than just something he listens to for motivation. Now, he makes music that inspires others. And as he has pursued that dream, he decided to add to his nickname and adopt the stage name Scrooge McBucks.

His most recent offering to the world is a single called “If You Wit It.” The song is a slower, R&B-driven track that he describes as a “dating song that’s kind of sexual.”

“It’s almost one of those songs you’d play when you’re having intercourse,” he said. “It’s a slow song that is all about talking to a girl that you want to date. It’s very R&B heavy which is a little unusual for me because I’m not really an R&B artist. But if I can do a song that females would like, I think it will help draw me a nice little crowd.”

Scrooge said he hopes this song will showcase his unique sound and style and introduce more people to his archive of music. Over the years, he has been compared to Boosie, though he assures people that he has his own niche and unique combination of sound and language.

“I can do rap or trap or hip-hop or R&B,” he said. “All my lyrics are old-school rap. I started rapping early in life when I met some guys who put me in a studio and taught me how to do it right. I’ve been serious about it ever since.”

His first interest in music began while singing in the school choir class as a child. He said music has always felt good to his soul and that has stayed with him throughout the years – even during a period of time when he found himself distracted by the streets and the lifestyle that comes with that. He got the opportunity to record his first song on a friend’s label and after moving to Shreveport, Louisiana from North Carolina, he began to record his own music. Over the past three years, he’s had the opportunity to perform in places such as The Josh Lounge Club, Club Haze and Shreveport Club Only in Monroe. He also recently completed a four-state tour through Atlanta, Florida, Colorado and Alabama.

“I’m pretty much a stand-up guy,” he said. “I’m writing about stuff I’ve seen and been through, and I’m really just trying to be honest and truthful. I don’t want to be negative all the time. I just want to be positive and truthful as much as I can.”

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.
