How Chalamet’s Goofy and Fun Verse Turns Heads
Chalamet’s verse on the “4 Raws” remix is equal parts playful, over-the-top, and surprisingly confident. With lines like, “Got model bitches in Peckham / I’m Ryan Reynolds in Wrexham / I’m having fun just sexting” and, “My life is an opera, look at the Oscars, look at the groupies, look at the movies,” the actor leans fully into his humorous side while paying homage to his burgeoning hip-hop persona, Lil’ Timmy Tim. His appearance is a reminder that Chalamet isn’t just dipping his toes into rap—he knows exactly how to make a splash while keeping it lighthearted and self-aware.
EsDeeKid’s Rise and the Masked Mystique
EsDeeKid, the enigmatic U.K. rapper hailing from Liverpool, has been on a meteoric rise over the past few years. Known for breakout hits like “Bally” and his June debut album Rebel, featuring fan favorites “LV Sandals” and “Phantom,” the balaclava-wearing artist has successfully kept his identity hidden, fueling endless speculation about who might be behind the mask. The “4 Raws” remix drop puts one of the loudest rumors to rest: Chalamet is definitely not EsDeeKid—but he is now a confirmed collaborator.
How the Rumors Started
The speculation began in November when fans noticed Chalamet attending a concert by Fakemink, a frequent EsDeeKid collaborator. Add to that the actor’s known love for rap and a willingness to play with accents, and the internet had the perfect storm for conspiracy theories: could Chalamet be the secret U.K. drill star? The rumor quickly spread across social media, reaching Chalamet himself.
During a U.K. radio interview last month, Chalamet teased the mystery with a coy, “I got no comment on that… All will be revealed in due time.” In hindsight, that subtle wink now reads as a clever prelude to the release of the “4 Raws” remix. Fans can finally relax—Chalamet is collaborating, not disguising himself.
Hollywood Meets U.K. Drill in Style
The remix showcases how artists from different worlds can merge their creative energies in unexpected ways. Chalamet’s playful energy complements EsDeeKid’s gritty, mysterious U.K. drill style, turning the track into a viral moment that has fans both laughing and nodding along. For the Hollywood actor, it’s another example of how he navigates fame with humor and self-awareness, while for EsDeeKid, it’s a confirmation of his growing influence and the buzz surrounding his music.
What’s Next for the Duo?
While the “4 Raws” remix answers one question, it also opens the door to future collaborations. EsDeeKid has solidified himself as one of the most intriguing and mysterious figures in U.K. rap, and Chalamet continues to blur the lines between Hollywood star power and music culture. Fans are now left wondering if this surprise drop is just the beginning of a cross-Atlantic partnership that could reshape how collaborations between film and music stars are imagined.
The Takeaway
With the “4 Raws” remix, Timothée Chalamet and EsDeeKid deliver a playful, memorable, and expertly timed collaboration that satisfies fans and crushes rumors once and for all.
