Mthirty2 Brings “Baddies” Music Video to Life in Brisbane

Mthirty2 has officially dropped the music video for "Baddies", his Valentine’s Day single and first release of 2026. The Brisbane shot visual, filmed and edited by @Unf0cal, arrives as more than just a companion to the track. It feels like a statement. A grounded declaration from an artist who has spent the better part of three years away from the spotlight and is now making it clear the return is real.

Right in the Middle of the City

The video doesn’t leave Brisbane to chase something bigger. It plants itself right in the middle of it. The opening scene shows Mthirty2 delivering a live mix performance in the centre of a street, cars passing on either side as if the city is indifferent to what’s happening. He remains completely unbothered. It’s the kind of image that doesn’t rely on budget. It relies on conviction, and Mthirty2 carries that from the first frame.

From there, @Unf0cal keeps the visual locked into that same street-level energy. Cars, crew, and an environment that doesn’t feel fake. There’s no attempt to manufacture something artificial, What you’re seeing is the people around Mthirty2, and the culture that shaped him.

That authenticity runs through every scene. Rather than building out elaborate setups or jumping between locations, the direction stays simple and lets the performance lead. It works.

One of the more distinctive creative touches is the use of stylised typography to bring select lyrics onto the screen. It’s subtle, but effective. It adds another layer to the track’s personality without overcomplicating the visual, giving certain lines space to land beyond what you hear. For a track like "Baddies", it fits naturally.

As a piece of visual work, this isn’t trying to be something it’s not. @Unf0cal and Mthirty2 aren’t chasing hype or awards. The focus is on something honest that reflects both the track and the artist accurately. On that front, it lands. The video serves the song, and the song meets the moment. That alignment matters more than scale at this stage of a comeback.

Mthirty2’s Return After Three Years Away

That comeback is worth addressing directly. Between 2022 and 2025, Mthirty2 released just two tracks. For an artist who had built a following and established himself as one of Logan’s more recognisable names, that kind of gap creates distance. Audiences shift, momentum fades, and the landscape moves on. Coming back into that isn’t simple.

"Baddies" works as an entry point because it sounds considered. A Valentine’s Day release with a clear identity, built on production that draws from Pharrell-era bounce without sounding dated. Guitar melody, trap drums, and a sense of energy that feels current without being forced. It suggests an artist who hasn’t lost his ear during the time away. With the video now out and more activity building, it’s starting to look like a real run rather than a one-off return.

This Isn’t Just Testing the Waters

For the Logan scene, Mthirty2’s return alongside recent movement from KZ is something to watch. These aren’t new artists trying to break through. These are established names stepping back into the conversation with experience behind them. That brings a different energy. More measured, more intentional. That’s exactly what "Baddies" and its video carry.

The release of the "Baddies" music video signals commitment. Dropping a single is one thing. Putting together a visual, executing it properly, and releasing it with intent shows something more. Mthirty2 isn’t testing the waters. He’s building again. Brick by brick, street by street, right there in the middle of Brisbane.

The music video for Mthirty2’s "Baddies" is out now, marking the clearest sign yet that his 2026 return is underway.
