The anonymous rapper is currently on a sold-out eight-date North American debut tour that saw over 27,000 fans flock to the waiting room for tickets for the Los Angeles dates alone. On Tuesday (February 3), he played his first show at Chicago’s Avondale Music Hall.
With the mini-tour now underway, the Scouse artist has today (February 6) followed up the gig with new single ‘Omens’, which comes produced by Cppo, Toom & Wasa.
Embracing the grit and thumping production that put him on the map, the track sees him furiously rap: “We’re takin’ it all, we’re the Romans/ The land, the people, the oceans / The fire, we riot, explosions / All of me team are full of bad omens.”
Out now via Lizzy Records, it also comes alongside a new music video directed by Archie Erskine that sees the masked rapper toting guns in a mansion and riding a horse – check it out below.
It comes after EsDeeKid called out The Chainsmokers for releasing an unauthorised remix of ‘4 Raws’, taking to X to write: “That chainsmokers remix is getting NUKED mate wow please. don’t remix my shit and think it’s cool to post to all DSPs.”
True to his word, the remix has been removed from YouTube and SoundCloud, but clips are still circulating online.
This isn’t the first time The Chainsmokers have released an unauthorised remix. They have released other unauthorised remixes in recent months, including reworkings of Charli XCX’s ‘party 4 u,’ Chappell Roan’s ‘Pink Pony Club’, Gracie Abrams’ ‘That’s So True’ and Sombr‘s ‘Back To Friends’. In fact, the only remix they have released recently that was authorised was their version of Taylor Swift‘s ‘The Fate Of Ophelia’.
Meanwhile, after fans became convinced that EsDeeKid was actually Timothée Chalamet, the two put rumours to bed with their own remix of ‘4 Raws’. In a clip shared to social media, Chalamet raps: “Got model bitches in Peckham / I’m riding rentals in Wrexham.”
Seemingly referencing girlfriend Kylie Jenner, he goes on to rap: “It’s Timothée Chalamet chilling/ Trying to stack 100 million /Girl got a billion.”
EsDeeKid’s album ‘Rebel’ made it into NME‘s list of the 50 best albums of 2025, with writer Kyann-Sian Williams writing: “Punkish bravado and glossy, high-voltage shine: with his debut mixtape ‘Rebel’, EsDeeKid took the crown as the UK underground’s true chaos conductor.
“Over crunchy bass and breath-halting 808s, his gruff Scouse delivery becomes an act of defiant grit, transforming the record into a cultish riot that refuses to be tamed.”
As well as the current US dates, EsDeeKid will be joining IDLES, Amyl & The Sniffers, JPEGMAFIA, and more in opening for Deftones at London’s Outbreak Fest 2026.
