Bino Rideaux is here to make sure The Marathon Continues. Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, the West Coast rapper came up as a close friend and frequent collaborator to Nipsey Hussle, even creating an entire project together titled No Pressure. Now, the 27-year-old delivers his own rendition of hip-hop and R&B catered to the streets and where he’s from — and fans are loving it.
Real name Brandon Rainey comes from humble beginnings. It was his standout single “100 Days 100 Nights” that he wrote dedicated to his late friend KP that caught the attention of Nip, eventually collaborating together in the studio. Records “The Field” and “Clarity” were born, paving the way for the dynamic duo to thrive.
With Nipsey’s passing, Bino released a tribute track titled “PRIDE 2 THE SIDE.” In January of this year, Bino inked a deal with Def Jam and recently released his highly-anticipated debut mixtape Outside. The title itself is fitting for the world’s current state amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
