Kutthroat Mar

Mario “Kutthroat Mar” Clemons, 28, is an emerging West Coast rapper and street music artist representing Stockton, California. As one of the most authentic new voices in the West Coast hip-hop scene, Kutthroat Mar blends trap, drill, and street rap into a hard-hitting sound that captures real life in his city — the hustle, the struggle, and the come-up. His aggressive delivery and unfiltered lyricism reflect both the pain and pride of Stockton’s streets, earning him a loyal following that connects with his raw, no-gimmick energy.

Born and raised in Stockton, Kutthroat Mar is the oldest of three siblings. His father, a respected local barber and shop owner, and his mother, a medical professional, instilled in him the value of independence and hard work. That foundation shaped his relentless grind. From a young age, he showed a sharp business mind and a natural hustler’s instinct — qualities that would later become a core part of his music and brand.

During high school, Kutthroat Mar taught himself how to invest in cryptocurrency and trade stock futures, turning digital hustle into real profit before most of his peers had even opened a bank account. That same self-taught drive fuels his artistry today. Outside the studio, he’s expanding into cannabis entrepreneurship, preparing to open his own dispensary — another move that proves his motto: “It’s all about the paper.”

In 2025, Kutthroat Mar was discovered and developed by King Raymond, CEO of Trench Monster Entertainment (TME) — a label known for cultivating raw street talent and transforming independent artists into industry-ready brands. Under TME, Kutthroat Mar continues to evolve his sound, pushing the limits of West Coast trap music and representing Stockton on a global scale. With every release, he solidifies his place as one of the most promising voices in modern West Coast hip-hop.
