HoodTrophy Bino delivers a multi-dimensional body of work balancing raw street authenticity with West Coast bounce and introspective vulnerability across 16 tracks. The project navigates mental health struggles, street paranoia, and emotional burnout on reflective cuts like “DRAMA KID” and “Lost It,” while effortlessly shifting into breezy California anthems like “Where U From” featuring RJMrLA and “Blind Somebody” featuring Spank Nitti James. Relentless street energy and heavy-bass production drive high-impact collaborations like “Beretta” featuring Tadoe, “Distraught” featuring Joe Moses, and “Bout That” featuring Philthy Rich.

Bino turns up the momentum for the night scene on bouncy, club-ready tracks like “Fell 4 It” featuring Baby Money, “Drip Drop” featuring Heaven Marina, “Pretty Bitches” featuring Stiff Barbie, and “Bad Bitch Party” featuring Luh Kel. KeyKinya lends a soaring hook to the resilient “White Flag,” while Rustah Jay and Xxtra join on the explicit late-night anthem “F*ck Me.” The project anchors itself in deep emotional weight toward the finish, confronting toxic relationship strain and personal loss on “Let You Know” and “Leave Me Alone” featuring Joe Moses, before closing on the melancholic, piano-driven “Tired of the Hurt” featuring Heembeezy.

Hoodtrophy Bino has a stacked lineup on the horizon, kicking off with a performance alongside Bravo the Bagchaser in Pomona on September 11th. From there, he joins Chief Keef on tour before hitting the road again in December with Luh Kel. HoodTrophy Bino has generated over 70 million combined views across platforms, anchored by viral hits like “Proud of You” featuring Chrisean Rock and over 80,000 active Shazams driven by “I Want Her” playing at LA Rams and LA Clippers home games. Beyond his chart traction, Bino holds 121 total film festival awards for his documentary “Breaking the Generational Curse” and “The Real” music video. He also stars on the reality TV series “Coming Up in Miami.”

His recent performances include touring with Soulja Boy, appearing alongside him at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, opening for Trippie Redd at the Toyota Arena, and for Chris Brown in Las Vegas. Bino has also been featured on major platforms including The Breakfast Club, On The Radar, HotNewHipHop, Lyrical Lemonade, and No Jumper.

HoodTrophy Bino has rapidly evolved from a local LA favorite into one of the fastest-rising independent voices out of the West Coast, cementing his shift into the global viral conversation. Across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, his content has generated multi-million-view moments and a reliably high engagement floor, underscoring a real audience rather than flash-in-the-pan virality.

There’s a moment in every villain’s story where you can still see the person he used to be. “814” is built around that moment – and everything that led up to it. 

The track centers on Dennis, better known as The Shadow, and asks a question that doesn’t get asked enough in  stories about men who turn dark: what if his pain was real, and he still became the villain anyway? 

This isn’t a revenge fantasy. It isn’t an excuse. It’s an attempt to hold two things that are usually treated as mutually exclusive – that Dennis was genuinely wronged, and that Dennis is fully responsible for what he did with that wound.

The Friend Who Knew Exactly What She Was Doing

Mandy never owed Dennis a relationship. Her rejection isn’t the betrayal – she has every right not to feel what he  feels. The betrayal is in what she does with his feelings once she knows about them. 

She keeps Dennis close. Close enough for the attention, the reassurance, the emotional labor he’s always willing to  provide – never close enough to give him what he actually wants. And when he tries to move on, she quietly makes  sure he can’t. Not because she wants him, but because she doesn’t want to lose what he gives her. 

Then she hooks up with Gabriel, Dennis’s best friend, and does it knowing exactly what that means to him. 

In Dennis’s mind, Mandy stops being a person and becomes a symbol: the woman who steps over the loyal man to  get to the reckless one she claims to dislike. The song isn’t arguing that this is how all women behave. It’s showing  how one experience, left to fester, becomes the lens through which a man starts judging everyone.

The Brother Who Chose Himself 

Gabriel is everything Dennis isn’t – confident, reckless, the guy women notice without trying. He knows Dennis is in  love with Mandy. He knows what acting on his own attraction to her will cost. He does it anyway. 

Mandy belongs to no one, and Gabriel’s choice was his to make. But brotherhood carries its own weight, and he set  it down for a night with the one person guaranteed to break his best friend. That’s the betrayal – not that he “took”  something, but that he knew exactly what it would take from Dennis and did it regardless. 

For Dennis, it confirms the worst thing he’s ever suspected about the world: loyalty doesn’t earn love. Patience  doesn’t earn respect. The guy who breaks the rules wins, and the guy who follows them gets left standing there. 

The Second Betrayal, and the Man Who Nearly Ends It

Milano was supposed to be the healing. Instead, she becomes the pattern repeating itself – close, then gone, choosing  a man named Coolie and leaving Dennis behind for a second time.

Years later, after Coolie turns abusive, Milano comes back. Not because she’s finally learned to value Dennis, but  because she remembers exactly how useful his loyalty can be. She tries to manipulate him into eliminating Coolie  for her. 

Here’s where the song refuses to make anything simple: Coolie did abuse Milano. That’s real, and he’s accountable  for it. But he’s innocent of the crime Dennis ultimately frames him for – Milano’s murder. Dennis picks Coolie  precisely because his guilt is already believable. Nobody has to be convinced Coolie is capable of violence; Dennis  just has to point. 

That’s what makes Dennis dangerous. He doesn’t need to invent the flaws in the people he destroys. He finds the real  ones and stretches them into justification for punishment that was never his to hand out. 

The Man Who Handed Him the Weapon 

Dennis’s real transformation starts at his lowest point, after a suicide attempt, when Dominick pulls him back and  takes him under his wing. What Dominick offers isn’t just survival – it’s a new way to see power. 

He teaches Dennis Machiavellian thinking as a tool for a specific, practical purpose: taking down a dangerous  enemy. And it works. But Dominick can’t see what’s happening underneath the strategy. For Dennis, manipulation  stops feeling like a tactic and starts feeling like a superpower – the first time in his life he isn’t the one waiting to be  chosen, waiting to be treated fairly. He can read people’s weaknesses now. He can lead them into traps they never  see. 

He falls in love with the control. What started as a means to an end becomes an identity. Dominick taught him to  think several moves ahead – and unknowingly gave a grieving, resentful man the tools to turn private wounds into  elaborate revenge. 

The Turn 

Nobody becomes a villain in one moment. Dennis is exploited, then betrayed, then taught – by every experience  before Dominick – that kindness is something people take advantage of. After his suicide attempt, Dominick gives  him a new identity built on strategy and control. And somewhere in there, protection curdles into domination. He  murders Milano. He frames Coolie and lets the system finish the job. And in a twist even Dennis doesn’t see coming,  an elderly witch who has been stalking him throughout Ritual III pulls Milano back from the grave and sends her to  him as an undead assassin -After Dennis realizes she’s a gift not a new threat he has the resurrected Milano whack 

Mandy & Gino. Every target genuinely wronged someone – Mandy exploited him, Gabriel betrayed him, Milano  tried to use him, Coolie abused Milano. None of that makes Dennis their judge, and none of it means the story is  done with him yet. 

That’s the line “814” is trying to hold: everyone in this story is accountable. Not everyone is equally accountable.  Dennis remains responsible for what he chose to become, no matter how real the wounds were that got him there. 

What This Is Actually About 

This song isn’t for men who want an excuse. It’s for men who’ve felt used, humiliated, replaced, or discarded by the  people they trusted most – and it’s telling them their pain is real. Being emotionally exploited is real. Having your  kindness read as weakness is real. Getting quietly discarded by someone who needed what you gave them but never  wanted you is real. 

None of that gives anyone ownership over another person. Rejection isn’t automatically betrayal. Pain doesn’t come  with a permission slip to punish, control, or destroy. A man can be a genuine victim in one chapter and still be the  villain of the next – and “814” wants to sit in that discomfort instead of resolving it. 

Dennis’s tragedy isn’t that he was hurt. It’s that he never let that hurt become anything but a weapon. He got addicted  to the one feeling manipulation gave him: never being powerless again. 

If you see yourself anywhere in this story, the message isn’t you were never wronged. It’s this: 

You may have been used. You may have been betrayed. You may have been pushed further than anyone around you  understands. Your pain is real, and it deserves to be heard. But you’re still the one who decides what kind of man  that pain turns you into. 

What’s Next 

Ritual III may be finished, but The Shadow isn’t done. “814” closes on the introduction of Nina – someone with no  ties to Dennis’s revenge, no connection to any of the deaths that came before her. She’s not an epilogue. She’s a door  opening on whatever comes next.

Following years of publicly discussed music disputes, Wadena addresses her history with  Grammy Winner and Superstar Alicia Keys, creative campaigns she says were inspired by her own experiences, and why she’s choosing peace, prayer and music over a feud.

LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK— AUGUST 31, 2026— Wadena, also known as Denagirl, is celebrating her birthday with the surprise release of Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside, but this isn’t simply another music release.

For the independent R&B, hip-hop, pop and dance artist, the EP represents a return after years of personal challenges, music-industry controversies and obstacles that she says have tested her determination to continue building her career. “I didn’t quit. I was delayed. Now I’m BACK OUTSIDE,” says Wadena. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’m still here, I’m still creating and I’m hungry for this moment.”

WADENA AND ALICIA KEYS: “I WOULD RATHER SIT DOWN AND TALK”

Wadena is also choosing this moment to speak publicly about her long-running concerns involving Alicia Keys, including disputes and controversies surrounding their music careers that had already received media attention dating back to the period when both artists were affiliated with MBK Entertainment. Wadena says she believes situations involving her career and creative work have continued to feel adversarial, including similarities between promotional concepts  developed independently and campaigns that later received significantly greater exposure used by Alicia Keys. The same as her music was passed around the industry and the singer/songwriter never received the credits she deserved. While millions of dollars and awards were also earned by well-known celebrities through the creative contributions of Wadena.

However, the public did not know this until recently and pushed for the release of Wadena’s untold music story through her upcoming book. One example is Wadena’s no-makeup campaign, which she says was never simply a marketing gimmick. The campaign was inspired by her own survival and was intended to encourage women of every race, culture and skin tone to recognize their natural beauty—particularly women who have experienced domestic violence, difficult relationships, motherhood and other painful circumstances.

“That campaign was personal to me,” Wadena says. “I survived domestic violence and fought for my life. I wanted women to know that what happened to them doesn’t take away their beauty or their worth.”

“Wadena says independent artists often don’t have the millions of dollars available to major stars to turn an idea into a global campaign. Sometimes our creativity is our marketing budget,” she says. “When you’re independent, you create the concept, create the content and find a way to get people to see it. That’s why it hurts when you feel like your ideas are being taken instead of being recognized.” 

Wadena also points to her previous birthday releases involving music produced by Grammy Award Winner Zaytoven, including “Smoke-n-Chill.” She says Alicia Keys released music on the same birthday date during one of those campaigns, which Wadena experienced as another difficult moment within their complicated history.

Still, Wadena says she doesn’t want a public feud.

“I don’t hate Alicia Keys, and I respect what she’s accomplished,” Wadena says. “But I’m tired of carrying this situation. If there are still issues between us, I would rather sit down and talk about them. I’m not trying to take anything from her. I’m trying to build my own lane and my own fanbase.”

A CALL FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS TO GET THEIR CHANCE

Wadena says her experience has reinforced a larger belief: the music industry needs to make more room for independent creators.

“There is room for everybody,” she says. “Established artists can be successful while independent artists get an opportunity to grow. You don’t have to tear somebody else down for your light to shine.”

She also believes artists should embrace new creative tools responsibly rather than allowing fear or competition to prevent innovation. “Music is always evolving. Artists should be able to explore new ways of creating while keeping their own voice and vision at the center.”

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AFTER LOSS

The EP’s birthday release carries an especially emotional meaning because Wadena and her mother share the same birthday.This year, they celebrate while continuing to grieve the loss of Wadena’s father. Wadena had also stepped away from her music campaign because of a family medical emergency, creating an unexpected delay in the EP rollout.

“We’re still grieving, but we’re also grateful to be here,” she says. “This EP represents another year of life, another chapter and another reason not to give up.”

THE MUSIC ALREADY HAS MOMENTUM

Wadena enters this new chapter with a growing independent catalog.

“Smoke-n-Chill,” produced by Zaytoven, has spent more than 50 weeks on the Upcoming 100 music charts and has generated more than 150,000 streams. “Glad I’m Over You (Hood Love)” has reached 52 weeks on the Upcoming 100 music charts, with a new remix featuring Mr. Hood included on the EP.

Now Wadena is asking listeners to help take the project even further through her #PlayWadenasMusic campaign.

“I’m not asking anybody to choose sides,” Wadena says. “I’m asking people to listen to the music and make their own decision. If you connect with it, stream it, save it, share it and become part of the journey.”

Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside is OUT NOW on major streaming platforms.

THEY MAY HAVE DELAYED THE MOMENT.

Multigenre artist brings R&B, hip-hop, pop and dance together for a bold new chapter

LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK— AUGUST 28th, 2026— Independent singer, songwriter and multigenre artist Wadena, also known as Denagirl, is officially stepping BACK OUTSIDE with her highly anticipated EP, Wadena vs. Wadena: Back Outside.

Blending R&B, hip-hop, pop and dance, the project showcases different sides of Wadena’s artistry while celebrating confidence, transformation, independence and creative freedom.

The EP’s release follows an unexpected pause in Wadena’s campaign after a family emergency required her to step away from music and social media.

“I had to step away, but I didn’t stop creating,” says Wadena. “I was hungry for this moment, and I knew I had to finish what I started. Now I’m back outside.”

BUILDING ON REAL MOMENTUM

Wadena isn’t returning to music empty-handed. Her independent catalog has already generated significant momentum.

“Smoke-n-Chill,” produced by Zaytoven, has spent more than 50 weeks on the Upcoming 100 music charts and has generated more than 150,000 streams. Meanwhile, “Glad I’m Over You (Hood Love)” has now reached 52 weeks on the Upcoming 100 music charts.

The new EP features another version of “Glad I’m Over You (Hood Love)” featuring Mr. Hood, giving listeners a fresh take on a song that has continued to connect with audiences.

A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY RELEASE

The EP also carries deep personal meaning for Wadena because she and her mother share the same birthday.

“We’re celebrating our birthday together while still grieving the loss of my dad,” Wadena says. “It’s emotional, but it also reminds me to celebrate life, family and the opportunity to keep moving forward.”

For Wadena, Back Outside represents resilience—turning a difficult chapter into motivation to continue creating.

CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND UNITY

As the music industry continues discussing emerging technology and creativity, Wadena believes new tools can help artists explore new possibilities while keeping the artist’s vision at the center.

That philosophy comes as legendary producer Dr. Dre has recently spoken publicly about experimenting with AI and emerging technology as creative tools.

“Music continues to evolve,” says Wadena. “Artists should be able to explore new tools that enhance creativity while keeping their own voice and vision at the heart of the work.”

Wadena is also calling for greater support among artists and creators.

“There’s room for everybody,” she says. “Established artists and independent artists can build their own lanes without tearing each other down. I want to see more collaboration, creativity, positive energy and peace.”

JOIN #PLAYWADENASMUSIC

Wadena is inviting fans, friends, DJs, creators and music lovers to join the #PlayWadenasMusic campaign.

Fans can support the new era by streaming the EP, saving songs, adding tracks to playlists, sharing videos, creating content and introducing Wadena’s music to new listeners.

“I’m not looking for people to listen once and disappear,” Wadena says. “I want to build a real community of people who connect with the music and stay for the journey.”

Following the EP, Wadena plans to release individual singles and visual content from the project. She will also continue the campaign with the standalone “Bum Busta Remix” featuring Zaytoven.

When Ashlee Ray published her first book, Manifest 22, she gave readers a 22-day framework for turning desire into reality. It was a roadmap built from her own experience — a woman who had climbed from foster care in Little Rock, Arkansas to the top of the media industry, then watched everything she built come apart, and found her way back through intention, ritual, and a faith in the alignment of things most people cannot see.

That book changed lives. It also left something unsaid.

The Manifest 22 Transit Guidebook, releasing June 5 and available now for pre-order exclusively at mamiwataorganics.com, is the something unsaid.

This Is Not a Follow-Up. It’s a Reckoning.

The first book taught the system. This one lives inside it. The Transit Guidebook was written during one of the most disruptive astrological cycles of Ashlee’s life — the years Uranus moved through Taurus, dismantling the material foundations of her world. Ashlee did not write about this transit from the safety of the other side. She wrote it while her home dissolved, while her partnership ended, while her body broke down and rebuilt itself, while she carried roles she never trained for, while she fought to hold her family together.

She finished the book on April 25, 2026. The last day Uranus was in Taurus. The last day of the transit.

“I didn’t plan the date,” she says. “The sky did.”

What the Book Actually Does

The Manifest 22 Transit Guidebook does something most astrology books are afraid to do: it shows the whole chart. Not just the abundance placements, the lucky Jupiter transits, the favorable windows for manifestation. The whole thing. Including what the chart says about loss, about trauma, about the things that happened before you had language for them.

One of the teachings that has resonated most deeply with readers is Ashlee’s demonstration of how to find some of life’s heaviest experiences written into a natal chart. Widowhood. The loss of a child. Survival of sexual abuse. These are not things most astrology books teach. Ashlee teaches them because she believes the chart is only useful if it tells the truth — all of it — and because she teaches her own alongside everyone else’s. She shows you where her own survival is written in her chart. Not as spectacle, but as evidence that the map was always there, and that understanding it changes how you carry what happened.

“I’m not just showing people their ugly,” she says. “I’m showing mine too.”

A central thread of the book is safety — how the theme of safety, and its absence, has shaped Ashlee’s entire life, and how that theme shows up in her chart for anyone who knows how to read it. She uses her own placements to teach readers how to work with their energy instead of against it: how a second house Pisces Moon, for example, can dissolve into other people so completely that it loses itself, and how she learned detachment as a practice — how to love deeply without merging, how to stay porous without disappearing.

There is an entire chapter on Uranus in Taurus — the transit that ran from 2018 to 2026 and disrupted the material foundations of an entire generation. Home. Body. Money. Identity. Stability. For Ashlee, it arrived as a complete collapse: the loss of her city, her partnership, her career, her physical health, and eventually her sense of who she was supposed to be. There is a passage about not feeling at home in her own body, her own emotions, her own life — the specific disorientation of Uranus moving through the house of self-worth and physical form and not recognizing the woman in the mirror. Millions of people lived some version of this transit. The chapter gives it a name, a map, and a way through. It is the longest chapter in the book, and the one she fought hardest to get right.

There is a chapter on Human Design that most authors would not have had the courage to write. Ashlee is a 5/1 Manifesting Generator — the 5th line being what Human Design calls the Heretic, the one who is constantly projected onto. The good projections and the bad ones. The savior narrative and the villain one. The chapter is deeply personal and deeply instructive at the same time: it traces the specific pain of being seen as whatever people need you to be rather than who you actually are, and it teaches the 5/1’s core lesson — that neither the good projections nor the bad ones are real, and that none of them are yours to carry. For anyone who has ever felt like the version of them living in other people’s minds has nothing to do with who they actually are, this chapter lands like a release.

The book covers every major planetary transit — Saturn returns, Uranus disruptions, Neptune dissolutions, Pluto rebirths, Chiron wounds, the Nodes — and maps them onto the houses of real life: career, relationships, home, body, identity, spirituality, loss. It includes a full Transit Library with every planet and asteroid through every house. It teaches Western and Vedic astrology side by side. And it does all of this in plain language, with enough of Ashlee’s own life woven through it that you never have to wonder what any of it looks like in practice.

Memoir, Guide, and Workbook — All at Once

What makes the book singular is that it refuses to separate the teaching from the life. It is simultaneously three things: a memoir, a transit guide, and a workbook. All three are necessary. The memoir gives the teaching its weight. The guide gives the reader a framework they can actually use. The workbook gives them somewhere to put it.

Most astrology content tells you what might happen. This book teaches you how to respond — built on the understanding that awareness changes outcome, that you are not at the mercy of your transits but in relationship with them.

The Ecosystem It Connects To

The Transit Guidebook is the centerpiece of a larger system Ashlee has built at Mami Wata Organics. The ebook edition includes QR codes that link directly to Mami Wata’s Mirror — the free chart tool Ashlee built herself, and the place where the book stops being something you read and becomes something you use.

Most people trying to understand themselves through their chart end up assembling the picture piece by piece: one site for the natal chart, a second for the Human Design bodygraph, a third for astrocartography, a paid app for transits, a forum thread to decode what any of it actually means. Mami Wata’s Mirror collapses all of that into a single tool in a single place — a one-stop shop for Western astrology and Human Design, built for the person who wants the whole picture instead of six browser tabs.

Enter a birth date, time, and place, and the Mirror generates six kinds of readings: a **Western natal chart**, a **current transits** report showing exactly what the sky is doing to your chart right now, a **compatibility reading** for two charts side by side, a full **Human Design bodygraph** with type, profile, authority, and defined centers, an **astrocartography map** showing where on Earth your planetary lines fall, and **secondary progressions** for tracking how the chart evolves as you do. Every chart can be cast in whole sign or Placidus houses, so readers who were taught one system are not forced into the other.

What makes it teach rather than just calculate is that every placement is clickable. Tap a planet, a sign, a house, a gate, a channel — a definition opens on the spot, written in plain language rather than textbook jargon. The built-in Transit Library covers every planet and asteroid through every house, which means the same reference material the guidebook uses is sitting right there when a reader hits something they do not recognize. Nobody has to leave the page to find out what their Chiron in the 4th means. A **Print / Save as PDF** button turns any reading into a document to keep or bring to a session, and the built-in **Reading Journal** holds fifteen saved entries with your own notes attached — so a transit you tracked in March is still there in September when the same planet comes back around. That is the part most astrology apps miss entirely: the point is not the single reading, it is the pattern across readings.

The natal chart, the transits, the compatibility reading, the bodygraph, the Transit Library and the journal are free. No account fee, no trial timer.

**Full Access — $10 a month — opens the rest of the Mirror.** That includes the complete **Pantone Birth Chart Palette**: twelve of your core placements translated into twelve Pantone colors instead of the single color the free tier shows. It is the chart rendered as a color story rather than a wheel of symbols — something you can actually use for a brand, a wardrobe, an altar, a room, a ritual. Full Access also unlocks a **seated Oracle pull drawn from your own chart**, **numerology read directly from your birth data** rather than in a separate tool, **secondary progressions**, and the **full astrocartography breakdown** — every line, every city, explained rather than just plotted.

The piece members use most is the one that comes to them. Full Access includes **personalized transit alerts by email** — not a generic horoscope, but a notification when a major transit is hitting your chart specifically, timed to your own placements and your own time zone. It is the difference between reading about Saturn and knowing the week Saturn arrives at your door.

Readers who are not ready to subscribe still get taught. The free **Healthy Wealthy Witch** newsletter sends three emails a week: a **Sunday Reset** on the incoming energy of the week, a **Monday ritual** email, and the **Friday Venus Day** email — what is active in the sky and what to do about it, every week, at no cost.

“Everything I know, I learned by looking things up one at a time and putting it together myself,” Ashlee says. “I built the Mirror so nobody else has to do it the hard way.”

The hardcover edition — a beautiful collector’s piece for the readers who really get it — includes workbook pages designed to be written in and returned to across multiple transit cycles: eclipse trackers, Saturn fasting logs, manifestation maps, an electional astrology worksheet for choosing the right timing for launches and decisions, and daily and weekly energy flow logs.

Supporting it all is the Mami Wata Organics ritual product line: ritual candles, ritual bars crafted to align with specific intentions and transit energies, and a monthly ritual box subscription delivering seasonal products designed to support exactly the kind of inner work the book teaches.

“Everything I have built,” Ashlee says, “is a tool for the same thing. For the woman who can feel the sky talking and just needs someone to help her understand what it’s saying.”
