DRAGG | artist and rapper
Lawrence Sean Sibanda (aka DRAGG) was born in Johannesburg in 1993 to Zimbabwean immigrants, and at 12 he faced a life-altering battle with meningitis, losing his eyesight in the process. Not letting his health complications become a hindrance, he set out to accomplish another vision with his remarkable ability to rhyme.

West Coast rapper The Game became a pivotal influence, with his album ‘Doctor’s Advocate’ serving as a defining moment that propelled DRAGG into the world of hip hop. Opening for The Game in 2010 marked DRAGG’s full-circle connection with his rap idol.

The second single from HoodTrophy Bino's upcoming album HoodTrophy, "Another Day" pulsates with heavy-handed beats, suave string accents, and sharp vocals that hit ferociously like a bullseye. "Laugh and get high 'bout it on the way home / With this long ass revolver like I'm Django" raps Bino. Acclaimed West Coast rapper Mozzy sets the track in motion with a menacing verse over stormy sonics that speak to the brooding nature of the track.

Cutting between introspective vignettes of each rapper in a red-lit room and the full-fledged party outside, the visuals for "Another Day" captures the sad reality of gang life. "No one is bigger than the program…it could be your closest friend or even family member. If they do some snake sh*t, if they stupid, they get x’d out too. It’s that simple," Bino adds.
HoodTrophy Bino has opened for Soulja Boy, Tee Grizzley, Bow Wow, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Omarion, Flo Malcom, Skinnyfromthe9, YN Jay, and Ohgeesy.
