HoodTrophy Bino Drops Highly Anticipated Single “Wish Everybody Well”

HoodTrophy Bino Drops Highly Anticipated Single “Wish Everybody Well”
There’s a sense of peace and calm at the heart of HoodTrophy Bino’s newest track, “Wish Everybody Well.” The song opens with delicate guitar strums, setting an atmosphere that feels nostalgic and reflective. When Bino steps in, his delivery is sharp, honest, and unfiltered, showcasing the emotional depth beneath his signature grit.
Bino has always carried a tough exterior, shaped by a life surrounded by violence, instability, and the pressures of gang culture. But here, he opens up. We see his vulnerability in lines like, “I glance around like I don’t care / Sometimes I don’t wanna be here,” revealing his battles that exist beneath the surface. The contrast is striking, strength on the outside, turmoil within.”Wish Everybody Well” shows a message of emotional evolution. Instead of feeding into drama or resentment, Bino chooses a higher path: wishing good on others. He acknowledges that life is fragile, and staying positive is both an act of resilience and self-preservation.
Bino’s upcoming album, The Invasion, is set to drop later this month. His songs can be heard on stations across the nation including SiriusXM The Heat, Power 106, 96.1 The Beat, and Power 105, and events like SneakerCon, Big 3, LA Clippers games, Rams games and more.
“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 tour with Soulja Boy, a performance alongside Soulja at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, opening for Trippie Redd at the Ontario Toyota Arena in Los Angeles and for Chris Brown in Las Vegas. Breakout single “I Want Her” with Kalan.FrFr earned 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 latest full-length album, CBFW features guest appearances from Lefty Gunplay, NoCap, and more. Bino has also been featured on major outlets including The Breakfast Club, On The Radar, HotNewHipHop, Lyrical Lemonade, and No Jumper just to name a few.
