TOP 3
3. FLOW (B.i)
The streets need a Kanye West-produced IDK album.
In “FLOW,” IDK talks about having ants in his pants, making it big without handouts, being ready to go to war with his opps, and having flows as unstoppable as DeAaron Fox in the clutch. Unfortunately, he makes no mention of NBA ratings declining.
Though IDK’s words are uplifting and honorable, I think it’s two things that make this song great: The sly, chill production and IDK’s fast-paced, steady flow. I was very impressed by what I heard.
2. MARiO COiNS (B)
Who f**ked around and gave IDK a star?
“MARiO COINS” feels more like a fiery freestyle than a structured track. Over a hard-hitting beat that sounds like it could soundtrack a knockout, IDK talks his s**t—hyping up his fighting skills, hustling mindset, and playa ways. He even takes a moment to shout out white folks who stand for the cause and reject racism. While the track is short and to the point, it offers a glimpse into IDK’s mindset heading into 2025.
1. S.U (B) (Ft. Denzel Curry)
IDK and Denzel Curry are a very slept-on duo.
“S.U.” thrives on a menacing, trunk-rattling beat, ideally suited for both artists’ aggressive styles. As expected, IDK and Denzel Curry attack the beat with steady, energetic flows, razor-sharp punchlines, and undeniable chemistry. The instrumental even switches up throughout, but that doesn’t stop them from whoping ass.
Lyrically, IDK and Denzel Curry take on the role of anti-heroes, sending warnings to their enemies, flexing their competitiveness, and making it clear that they aren’t to be messed with. Oh, and of course, they count plenty of money along the way. It’s impossible as a hip-hip fan not to f**k with this track.

OVERALL RATING
(B) (83%)
Doesn’t it always sound like IDK is having absolute fun on the mic? On his latest project, BRAVADO INTiMO, he goes toe-to-toe with elite lyricists like Ab-Soul, Joey Bada$$, and Denzel Curry, experimenting with various flows, navigating beat switches, flexing his dominance, and reflecting on the relentless grind that got him here. I think it’s a good enough listen.
