IDK doesn’t play around with the energy on “MARiO COINS”. It's chest out, chin up, all gas, no brakes from start to finish. Tae Beast, Mario Luciano, and Thurdi stitched together a beat that stalks like a boxer pacing in his corner before the bell. There’s no real bassline to lean on. Just the steady thud of bass drums stretched out until their stormy rumbles add weight to the neck-snapping beat. Crackling snare slaps, fuzzed-out guitar lines, and glassy piano tolls swing like a pendulum. It’s the type of beat that makes you scrunch up your brow, close your eyes, and nod your head before you even realize what you're doing.
The flow is wrapped in a tightly drawn bravado. The hook pulls no punches. “When I drop my drawls, bitches dropping jaws / A metaphor for telling pussy niggas I got big balls”. No room for subtlety here—just hunger sharpened into shiv-like bars. Between the middle-fingers-up punchlines, IDK cracks open a bit of his backstory. He traces lines from riding in hoopties with his mom to walking away from labels to run his own lane.
The video keeps it straight up and stripped down. We catch the Maryland-bred bully rhyming all by his lonesome - walking down an alley dressed in all black. Everything about “MARiO COINS” digs in and doesn’t ease up. The beat knocks, the bars hit hard, and IDK makes it crystal clear that he’s laser-focused on getting everything he’s owed.
