Hoodtrophy Bino taps into full vacation mode on his new single and video “Miami” ft. FCG Heem. This coast-to-coast collab combines Bino’s LA swagger with the laid-back, sun-soaked vibes of South Beach. Bino expresses,” ‘Miami’ was a bridge for me from LA to the South sound. The song is about seeing life in a different way — peaceful moments, no cares, feels like a vacation. Also the ocean is different, it brings calm.”

The visuals match the vibe – jet skis, swimsuits, and Miami’s glittering skyline. 

Bino goes on to say, “FCG Heem is a stand up real dude. He didn’t come fake on the feature.He gave it his all; gave me all his time. I’ve been listening to him since 2017. His music relates to my life. We went through the same things.”

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Flex Jaxn is an emerging musical talent with a compelling backstory. Raised by a single mother and facing significant childhood trauma, including molestation by family member, he turned to alcohol and drugs at the young age of nine. Diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, he struggled with these challenges throughout his youth. The gift of a toy piano at age 13 proved to be a pivotal moment, offering him an outlet and a means of escape from his pain.
Music became increasingly important to Flex, especially as he grappled with the triggers of his past, which led to multiple arrests and two overdoses. Realizing the crucial role music played in his well-being, he dedicated himself to it, eventually living in a recording studio. Through creating and composing, he journeys into self awareness turning his shortcomings into therapeutic art aimed at helping others facing similar struggles.

In 2024, Flex established D.I.R.E. (Drugs Imitate Real Emotions), a program inspired by his childhood participation in D.A.R.E., to support those battling substance abuse. That same year marked a turning point in his music career when he participated in The Roll Out Experience, leading to his signing by Shawn Barron and a deal with United Masters. He is currently working on his debut album, “10 for 10,” a deeply personal project where each song tells a story from his life, framed through the lens of celebrity drug overdoses. His released singles include “I Cry,”  loose re-enactment of   Juice WRLD’s death, and “Drugs are Numb,” depicting Rich Homie Quan’s overdose. 

His next release, “Heart On Your Sleeve,” will explore the pressures faced by women in entertainment and social media. With his music already featured in several editorial playlists, Flex Jaxn is on a promising path to becoming a significant voice in his generation, offering solace and healing through his art.
