EsDeeKid

EsDeeKid is an anonymous British rapper from Liverpool, Merseyside, who emerged in 2024 with his debut single "Black Beatles Remix". Known for performing with his face concealed behind a balaclava, he has kept his real name, age, and personal details entirely private. His thick Scouse accent and atmospheric cloud rap production quickly set him apart in the UK rap landscape, earning recognition from Pitchfork and widespread viral attention on social media. His debut album Rebel, released in June 2025 through Lizzy Records, cemented his rapid ascent with singles like "Phantom" (with Rico Ace) accumulating over 170 million streams. Dazed described him as "the fastest-growing artist in the world", and he has drawn comparisons to actor Timothee Chalamet due to similarities in appearance glimpsed beneath his balaclava. His music blends cloud rap and trap with lo-fi, internet-influenced aesthetics that push beyond the boundaries of traditional UK drill.
