Ruff Buff Who to Know: MINO
Two projects by March, a run of features all summer and a new single in October. Here's where to start.
MINO has stayed busy in 2026. Credited as Elcamino on streaming, MINO opened the year with “God Is Love,” an eight-track project with ILL Tone Beats out January 23, then followed with the seven-track “BRUV” with Black Soprano Family on March 26, per Apple Music.
That run came after “MINO,” the 2025 album with Black Soprano Family, where “Bobby Knight” features French Montana and Benny The Butcher. MINO also appears with 38 Spesh on “Rise & Fall” from Benny and Harry Fraud's “The Plugs I Met 2.5” EP.
The newest release on the Elcamino Apple Music page is “Expensive Wine,” a single with Big Gates and Jay Exodus out October 2. The same trio linked with Camoflauge Monk on “From The Slums” on July 31.
Spotify currently shows Elcamino at 78.3K monthly listeners.
