HoodTrophy Bino and Bravo the Bagchaser release the music video for their new track "Act Different." The track is a raw exploration of loyalty, consequences, and the price of success in the streets. The video concept perfectly mirrors the song's narrative: HoodTrophy Bino and Bravo the Bagchaser behind glass in LA County, facing their women who question whether they'll "stay down if they take me," while "You sayin money make me act different" hits different when delivered through a prison phone.
The visual cuts from the cold jail scenes to a street lit parking lot where they're "spending racks on her appearance" with luxury cars and designer shopping bags and the lyrics about "diamonds with these shackles" take on a literal meaning when we see them flexing chains in one scene and dealing with real consequences in another.“Act Different” is from Bino’s latest album CBFW, which features standout collaborations with NoCap, Bravo the Bagchaser, Lefty Gunplay and more.

Old Man Brandon is a rising hip hop artist from Orlando, FL who recently released a new album titled “One Last Load”, The Deluxe Edition, which includes 6 unreleased tracks. His new album is available for purchase on Amazon & iTunes store now and will be available on streaming platforms on July 25th.
Please introduce yourself and tell us about your latest release:
I go by the name Old Man Brandon which was actually a joke that was made by my girlfriend. I thought it had a cool ring to it plus it sounded like a name that would help keep me humble. Most who have been following me or my music know I have Mental Illness. I have listed all the diagnoses many times before and it’s all over my music so I’ll spare you all the endless details. Supporters, family, and friends also know I used to go by a different artist name before I gave my life to God.
What is the inspiration behind your music?
I’m in such a weird place artistically right now… I guess I’m always in a weird place but- Anyway. My moods and sleep are off all the time but this year It was just, Well… I don’t know how to describe it really? I guess I just dumped it all in these projects. It really came through on this Trash Trilogy. I don’t say that in a boastful way either. There were mistakes, there was TMI, falling short, giving up, and there was just this feeling from the beginning when I was writing that none of this would matter in the end. Although I was venting and using this as therapy and my outlet, I just felt like I would be gone one day and my music wouldn’t matter anymore. Maybe that’s how the TRASH theme came into play. Even right now I feel like an idiot. I’m not the boastful rapper full of ego and pride I was years ago. I’m just a guy who had a mental breakdown and never fully recovered.
I use my music as my outlet now and a way to share my walk and faith. I just don’t have it in me to sit here and write like I’m some huge undiscovered superstar, BUT!!! That doesn’t mean I don’t think I am special or unique. Look, Having a breakdown, Not being able to remember things, even my own songs, all this mental illness crap has been a blessing! It may not seem like it to others in the world but believe me, it is. Give my albums “Beautiful Trash” and “Garbage Mansion” a try.
Where can fans purchase your music?
If you like what you hear, buy the grand finale of the trilogy. The title is “One Last Load”, the Deluxe Edition is available on Amazon and iTunes store RIGHT NOW! You get 6 unreleased tracks that will not be on the standard edition when it streams on July 25th. Thank you for listening or sharing this. All the glory goes to God, And I want to dedicate anything good that came from this to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

San Diego-based hip-hop collective KOAT Records is making noise with the release of their debut mixtape, King of All Trades—now available on all major streaming platforms—and the brand new music video for the sinister underground anthem “Psycho” featuring Kung Fu Vampire, now live on YouTube.
The hard-hitting visual for “Psycho” delivers a cinematic gut punch, pairing menacing verses with eerie imagery that captures the raw, unfiltered intensity KOAT has become known for. Underground legend Kung Fu Vampire brings his unmistakable style to the track, taking the energy into darker, more theatrical territory—anchored by KOAT’s razor-sharp lyricism and gritty production.
The King of All Trades mixtape is a THC-laced sonic ride through the underbelly of West Coast hip-hop. With its blend of boom-bap grit, weeded-out vibes, and old-school soul, the project sets KOAT apart as a crew not afraid to blur lines or break molds. The mixtape also features a guest spot from Suburban Noize Records’ rapid-fire mic assassin Stacc Styles on the adrenaline-charged “We Ride.”
KOAT Records—short for Kings of All Trades—was founded in 2023 by Oib1, Gideon Moore, and Profit Stopit in San Diego, CA. What started as a DIY hustle among friends has grown into one of the West Coast’s most fearless independent labels. Known for their raw authenticity and tireless work ethic, KOAT blends hip-hop tradition with genre-bending vision, emerging as a creative force both on stage and in the studio.
Beyond the booth, KOAT Records is deeply woven into the San Diego hip-hop scene—curating local events and giving emerging artists real platforms to shine. Their mission is simple: bring real hip-hop back. No gimmicks. No filters. Just bars, beats, and community.
Jahdruh is an emerging hip hop artist from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. At 27 years old, this rapper takes on the tasks of mixing and mastering his own music, similar to Russ. His fans refer to him as the next Russ, but with a twist—his style leans towards trap rather than R&B! His most recent track, titled “Supper,” conveys a message about his roots in the hood, emphasizing that he is well-known there and is enjoying a good life. Make sure you check out Jahdruh’s new hit single “Supper” out now and follow him on social media for his latest releases.
The new single is fierce and unapologetic, combining her sharp delivery with a polished sound that hits hard and lingers. Inspired by the likes of Nicki Minaj and Ruby Rose but with her own undeniable twist, she’s defining a sound that’s all hers.
This isn’t just rap—it’s precision, power, and purpose. The song’s clean mix and booming production reflect an artist deeply invested in both message and music.
But RoseGoldPressure isn’t stopping there. She’s already a business owner—running dog care and Pressure Lingerie Inc. These ventures show she’s thinking beyond bars, building a brand that’s as bold as her voice.
“Toxic” is the beginning of a wave—and RoseGoldPressure is leading it with confidence, vision, and unmatched drive.
