Bino Rideaux sounds like Southern California after dark. Through thick smoke from every angle, his melodies glow as iridescently as streetlights do, while wavy flows sway similar to palm trees. The Los Angeles singer, rapper, and producer cruises out of South Central with a nocturnal fusion of hip-hop and R&B, generating over a quarter-of-a-billion streams and attracting half-a-million followers. In 2015, he launched his own Out The Blue Records and served up his very first mixtape, Life Is Like A Movie. Recording out of a D.I.Y. studio in his grandmother’s house, he paid homage to his fallen friend KP with “100 Days 100 Nights.” Late Los Angeles legend Nipsey Hussle took notice and tapped him for “Clarity” and “The Field” as well as 2017’s joint tape No Pressure. Powered by “Brand New” [with BLXST], Bino’s 2019 project OUTSIDE has moved 95k-plus album equivalent units and tallied 175 million global streams. He teamed up with fellow 21st century West Coast force of nature BLXST for the critically acclaimed Sixtape [2019] and Sixtape 2 [2021]. Minting an alliance between Out The Blue and Def Jam, he only accelerated his rapid rise with “CREEPIN” [with BlueBucksClan feat. Mustard], “No Makeup” [feat. King Combs], and “Lemme Find Out” [with Roddy Ricch]. Meanwhile, he packed houses coast-to-coast on his headline On My Soul Tour. Touted as an artist to watch by Billboard, Rolling Stone, UPROXX, and many others, he sharpened this signature style on his 2022 full-length debut album and more to come.
