(LND) – The unexpected collaboration on the “4 Raws” Remix between anonymous rapper EsDeeKid and Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has done more than just ignite the charts; it has fueled a classic conspiracy theory: Are they truly two different artists, or is this a masterful “alter ego” performance reminiscent of Eminem and Slim Shady?

A “Surreal” Partnership Breaking All Rules

After months of silence regarding rumors of a “secret side hustle” in the UK underground rap scene, Timothée Chalamet has officially emerged on EsDeeKid’s Remix of the hit track “4 Raws.” As soon as the music video premiered, social media went into overdrive. Stripping away his image as an arthouse cinema darling, Chalamet appears in a gritty hip-hop aesthetic, delivering flows that rival seasoned professionals.

The seamless synergy between EsDeeKid’s distinct rap style and Chalamet’s verses is almost too perfect to believe. This immediate chemistry has sent platforms like Reddit and X (Twitter) into a frenzy, debating the true identity of the masked rapper from Liverpool.

“Eminem and Slim Shady for the 2025 Era”

Among the thousands of comments under the official YouTube video, one sentiment stood out and garnered massive support: “This doesn’t feel like a standard collab; it feels like Eminem featuring Slim Shady!”

This comparison suggests that EsDeeKid and Timothée Chalamet might be two sides of the same coin. In hip-hop history, Eminem famously utilized his Slim Shady persona to express his darker, more rebellious impulses. Fans have noted striking physical similarities between EsDeeKid and Chalamet—from their eyes and stature to their specific fashion choices.

Having both “characters” appear on the same track with distinct voices and personalities is being hailed as a tactical masterstroke. It allows Chalamet to maintain his “Prince of Hollywood” image while satisfying his hip-hop passions under a pseudonym, free from the constraints of his A-list status.

Reality or a Marketing Stroke of Genius?

While Chalamet cryptically stated in recent interviews that “all will be revealed in due time,” his appearance alongside EsDeeKid has only blurred the lines further. Some media experts suggest this could be a high-concept promotion for his upcoming A24 film, Marty Supreme, where he portrays a similarly rebellious character.

Regardless of whether they are two close friends or one man playing two roles, the “4 Raws Remix” has set an unprecedented standard. It erases the boundary between a Hollywood heavyweight and an underground rap sensation.

The Verdict on a Musical Mystery

For now, EsDeeKid remains masked and anonymous, while Timothée Chalamet continues to grace international red carpets. However, for the fans, this track is enough to prove one thing: whoever they are, this duo has created a “digital earthquake” that redefines the concept of a multi-faceted artist.

The battle over their identity will undoubtedly continue to trend, but one thing is certain: EsDeeKid and Timothée Chalamet have cemented a new legend in the global music landscape.
