Tee Grizzley Tags Chris Brown & Mariah The Scientist On "IDGAF"
Yesterday (Sept. 8), Motor City street rap legend Tee Grizzley teamed up with Mariah The Scientist and Chris Brown for a new radio-friendly single titled “IDGAF.” The new single contrasts the upbeat lyrical exercises that helped the storytelling emcee into the main scene. This is his third track with Brown following “F**k It Off” and “Set The Record Straight.”
“IDGAF” is the first collaboration between Grizzley and Atlanta’s Mariah The Scientist. The new single features a smooth piano across heavy 808s, allowing Tee to get directly into his bag after Brown and Mariah set the tone with their magnetic hook. The song follows the go-to hitmaking recipe that perfectly marries rap and R&B between distinct voices.

Many of today’s songs feature artists who enjoy both rapping and singing. Therefore, “IDGAF” is a refreshing blast to the past, back to the singles that blazed the airwaves in the early 2000s. Breezy and Mariah harmonize toxic yet relatable lyrics like “I don’t give a f**k… but you know I got a man,” giving fans something to appreciate.
When discussing the track, fans on social media were happy to hear the “First Day Out” emcee attempting a new lane. One user said, “Tee, Breezy, and Mariah, the slow jam I never knew I needed #IDGAF,” while another exclaimed, “This ate! Been on repeat all day.”

Directed by Blu and Mikey Rare, the accompanying visual finds this trio on the rooftop of a futuristic skyscraper. Their charisma and chemistry practically bubble over as cinematic stories play out on the other floors of the building.
