The actor leans fully into hip-hop’s weirdest mystery and surprises everyone.

One of the most fascinating stories in music right now isn’t about charts or rankings, it’s Timothée Chalamet’s unexpected involvement with the mysterious new artist EsDeeKid, who’s currently tearing s**t up. EsDeeKid holds the most-streamed album and song in hip-hop at the moment, yet no one actually knows what he looks like. Somehow, fans began linking Timothée to the artist, and instead of shutting it down, the actor leaned into the chaos.

Now the plot has thickened even more. Timothée Chalamet has officially hopped on the remix to “4 Raws.” Over the chaotic, high-energy instrumental, he delivers bars about flexing, dealing with supermodels, and carrying a stick that is young and restless like the soap opera. It’s absurd, confident, and surprisingly committed.

While his flow does sound a bit dated at times, there’s no denying that he really went for it. Against all expectations, Timothée actually held his own and, honestly, kind of killed it.
