Analytic Dreamz breaks down how the track resolves months of online rumors speculating Chalamet was secretly EsDeeKid, fueled by eye comparisons, shared scarves, and Chalamet's hip-hop roots as teenage rapper Lil Timmy Tim.The music video, shot in everyday settings like kitchens and convenience stores, sees Chalamet briefly mask up before revealing his face, rapping self-aware bars referencing Kylie Jenner (“Girl got a billion”), his Oscar-nominated career, and Marty Supreme press tour. EsDeeKid stays fully obscured, preserving mystique while delivering gritty verses.Analytic Dreamz analyzes the strategy: zero traditional promo, pure earned media from conspiracy buzz, boosting EsDeeKid's streams and mainstream drill exposure. Timed perfectly with Marty Supreme hype, it showcases Chalamet's savvy viral marketing, turning speculation into cultural impact without fully debunking the fun theory.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to bring this to your attention. You know, I cover the entire music and gaming industry. So, lo and behold, of course, I was looking at future chart predictions for specific songs in the month of December. And I saw a particular name. And I said to myself, I thought he was shooting a movie. Whole time, this man, as far as the specific track for Rawls and the remix, the original version.

So not to get confused with the remix. the original version so shout out to ease the how you say his name ease the kid i don't know how to say his name i ain't gonna kept to you i feel like i'm 25 going on 80 at this point because how in the world is that a rap name but ease the kid his track for ross is slated to be as far as future charred predictions for december 27th is slated to be the 87th most play track in the world And you know, in the sport of hip hop, safe to say, we've definitely been struggling in the year of 2025, especially when I first covered, let me see if I can find it. When I first covered it, October 31st, 2025, how there were no rap songs in the Billboard Top 40 for the first time of 35 years. Safe to say, a lot of people was thinking that hip hop was on a downward spiral, only to realize that music in totality is on a downward spiral.

I mean, there's a reason why Billboard came out, and it was basically. basically making it easier to have more sales as far as the streams being considered. Because if you look at the streams for Billboard, they took down the previously 3,750 as supported streams. And now it's just 2,500 ad supported streams for a thousand pay slash subscription on demand, official audio and video stream generated by songs from an album. Now, I know that's a lot. So essentially speaking, they took it from 37, well, 3,000.

7,750 to 2,500 for equivalent to one unit right so that makes it easier for a lot of people to have a little bit of leeway to not flop as much and that's across the music board entirely so now when you look at easy ease the kid having a successful track and looking at who in the world he chose for a re for the feature on his remix for four raws is very peculiar because now you look at it and you say to yourself, what in the world? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So you're telling me there's two white kids out here saving hip hop? Now, obviously, that's not the case. But, you know, for all jokes, you know, all jokes are set to the side.

I do believe when you look at Timothy Shalameh and his involvement in hip hop, especially his Super Bowl ad with size seven, I mean, Kendrick Lamar and how that was in the midst of one of the biggest, if not the biggest rap battles, we've ever witnessed on my measly 25 years on earth right when you look at that in particular and come to realize that timothy shallamee is really more ingrained in hip-hop culture than people would like to believe thinking that he's i mean obviously he is an outsider but of course as far as the collaboration with kensic lamar in the super bowl i believe i just saw he did something with druski where they was like seen in some type of gospel song or something like that and then of course now ladies and gentlemen he has

teamed up with ease the kid for this particular remix for four dogs and safe to say this wasn't out of the blue ladies and gentlemen analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because apparently he was as not too long ago if he was actually eased the kid himself so a lot of people was thinking he was ease the kid because of course when you look at ease the kid a lot of people don't know his identity which is kind of crazy you know i've covered a lot of different artists And some artists have the mysterious factor going in and their music is booming, right? It's very hard to do because, you know, your boy, your boy gets, you know, a couple checks from Spotify. None too crazy.

You know what I'm saying? And usually you have to put you a full government. You have to send your ID, you know, to make sure you're a real person that they're sending the money towards as far as the bank account. So I don't know if he's using some type of random bank account. I don't know if somebody over at Spotify doesn't want to snitch. But how in the world does nobody know ease the kid's identity? Now that out the way, you're not trying to snitch. I said, I'm not trying to snitch.

Oh, that's my snitching job. I don't know why I keep playing young thugs. That's crazy. So anyways, when you look at Timothy Shalamee and people thinking he was easy to kid, this is what he had to say. I've got two. Your fans have lost their minds

and they are saying that you are as to you. Is that true? I got no comment on that. Oh, come on. He has no comment. Hold on now. No, I mean, you got no comment. You've got the same eyes.

I've got two words on that. Dang, she choosing it. All right, my fault. Anyways, let's get back to it. Go on. Hold on. He said he got two words, ladies and gentlemen. Count closely.

In your own time. Two words. Two words. What's wrong with him? We've lost him. Someone we need to read. All will be revealed in due time. Oh, hold up now.

What in the actual? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? Look at Timothy Shalame. I out here perpetuating the stereotype that hip-hop artist can't read, right, or, you know. Shepherd. All right.

I ain't going to go deeper into that. But, you know, as far as Timothy Shalame, obviously he basically said, all will be revealed in due time. Now, he said two words, but we're not going to hang on to that, right? So as far as due time, this is essentially what he was talking about.

There's a particular track out now on YouTube, which, you know, impressively, has already passed 1 million views as far as in the span of 24 hours. And of course, key is the feature on ease the kid's track for Ross remix, which, you know, I'm a huge superhero.

offense. So you already know I'm going with this. When Clark Kent, when Peter Parker got exposed as far as being their counterpart superhero, safe to say, sometimes they was able to get somebody else to be in a suit while they showed up as a civilian. Now that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying as a clone. I'm not saying he had somebody fill in

to be eased a kid. I'm just, you know, I'm just, you know, add it to the conspiracy. You know what I'm saying? I know that ain't who I think it is. So when you look at this, it's a lot to get into because Timothy Shalame is currently in the midst of having a successful

selling a movie as far as it well it's not out yet but i'm talking about the pre-sells because if you look at it marty supreme has had the fastest selling pre-sales ever for an a 24 movie that is why when i looked at the charts and i saw ease the kid with the track for raws and i saw who it was attached to i said to myself isn't he shooting the movie how much time does this man have on his hands you know what i'm saying but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on coincidentally he has a whole four raws remix it's you know around the same time that marty supreme is supposed to come out i think it's supposed to come out on the 25th i believe yeah it's set to come out uh worldwide december 25th and of course the pre-sales of the fastest ever for 824 so we can already

assume it's going to be a a great phenomenal uh movie just from objective revenue standpoint so now because if you don't know you know i'm no movie a tv show connoisseur but of course when you look at pre-sales usually as a great indication of how the movie's going to do so getting back into timothy shallame and him just having all the acting accolades whether him having two oscar noms for call me by your name uh a complete unknown or him having the sag after best actor win in 2025 global well golden globe nominations in 2025 and of course marty supreme you already know the way that is selling out now there's only time for the subjective of critics to come in and give it highly in high praise because you know as far as timothy

shallomay seems like he is the golden child of the acting ecosystem now that's set to the side ease the kid i did want to get into him for a second pause you guys as when you look at ease the kid he's from uk yes ladies and gentlemen abraham is not the only uk rapper making a notorious mass effect as we have the uk rapper ease the kid and his particular uh uh standout has just came recently in 2024 and 2025 with his debut album rebel so if you look at his discography it's very interesting as he hasn't been putting out music for a while well he he hasn't been putting out music um for a long time but if you look at dsps and go all the way down 7th of january 1938 there's a particular track with ease the kid on it now how in the actual is that possible

i know that ain't who i think it is i don't know if it's some type of because you know when you first upload you You can put whatever release date, I guess. So when you look at 1938, you just know somebody is trolling because who in the world is fake mink to put this track out set in 1938 featuring Ease the Kid. I know that ain't who I think it is. And that's just a little journalistic research for me, right? So some other things I was looking at was, of course, his output as far as ease the kid. Because you look at Century, which is his latest single on DSPs that came out October 31st. And then of course, you look at this album Rebel that at the start of it has four Rawls on it, which is objective.

effectively speaking his most successful track but then you come to realize this man is the kid has all type of tracks going up i mean it's 13.4 million monthly listeners and that's just on spotify and of course his track phantom is at the top of that list and of course for raws is quickly rising up on those charts so i don't know if the remix is going to hit dsps but as of you as of right now youtube's going crazy and you know youtube and billboard kind of beefing right now so i know billboard hates that is the the remix was pre-mirrid on youtube so look at the ramifications of this track having such a monumental impact, safe to say I had the pocket watch because of course I wonder who was backing this because he claims to be independent.

And I'm not going to say he's not, but he is under XV Records, which is an independent French slash UK label that's also called 15 records that was founded in 2024. That co-distributes releases like Ease the Kids debut album Rebel and of course associated with his hits like Phantom. And of course you have Lizzie Records. that's a prominent UK independent label and with that specific uh with that label in specific

they have rap talents like ease the kid lancy fox famegiro i think that's how you say it uh Lynn and center it has a six for the e I'm not gonna lie to you black did it with the B or no no with the six being in front of the B

y'all gotta stop taking that out the English language for granted because who in the world is going to pronounce it correctly if they're not kind of suicide some music y'all just let me know so yeah center has a six for the e it's crazy um they also have meeks and i think that's it so they're basically a key independent label for a uk underground scene and i believe that drake came out and i know what y'all saying you're a huge drake fan so obviously you know what uh drake said and you know you you completely right is it okay i got my dope on me you

you know what i said what the as you look at drake uh giving the ice emoji i believe it's right here yeah here it goes so the actual music video you have drake ladies and gentlemen giving his um monumental input because of course he is the goat so you look at the mascot you know the the figurehead the epitome of what success looks like in hip hop shepherd all right so basically uh drake commented and he put three ice emojis right ice cube emoji basically saying he he co-signs this he i guess he likes it and you know drake's been you know he's been messing with a lot of different UK rappers such as Central C so who knows I mean ease the kid definitely has a lot of organic recent traction you could see ease the kid in a Drake future in a foreseeable future but

that's just me speculating so again back into Timothy shallame basically taking this very random opportunity in the most most pristine time as far as his rollout for Marty Mcfly already selling out pre-sales already having a successful career in his own right as far as acting and now he's jumping over into the rap lane because you look at him in the music field yes ladies and gentlemen we got receipts on all these people you know what i'm saying you guys so anyways timothy shallame he also already has a music profile that has 2.1 million monthly listeners and you probably think it to yourself is he a musician no ladies and gentlemen it's just basically from movies and there's no slight i'm just letting you know so the movie wonka which had the original motion picture soundtrack uh that came

out december 8th 2023 that had timothy shallamee on on certain tracks like hateful like a hateful dreams and then you had that complete unknown which i talked about earlier in this segment that came out december 6th 20th 24 and then of course you had a complete unknown again the original motion picture soundtrack that came out December 20th of 20th of 24 so timothy chalemay has definitely been in a music field he's popped up in certain hip-hop ecosystems whether it's drusky whether it's side 7 i mean a white tank top so now you come to realize that his love for i'm not going to say say black culture but he's definitely showed up at certain interesting times to showcase that he

definitely has some type of enjoyment out of doing this is i don't think it's forced his verse sounds solid i just know jack quees webster a k a k a.a. Travis scott which is sitting back hearing him shout out kiley saying that timothy basically was rapping and saying that he was trying to stack up a hundred meal and saying that his girl already got a bill and i was just thinking my thinking to myself there's no way that jack quees webster was out shouting out kiley jenner which is his baby mom by the way on stargazing sickle mode skeletons just for timothy shallamee to arguably have the best bar about collie jenna i just know jack quees was sitting back saying to himself y'all ain't hear drake on with his first song tell all my fault i just know i got i got run that back i just know jack quees webster was sitting back

saying to himself. Drake on with his first song, Tell me what's really going on. Drizzy Drake, back in this thing already. That's soldier! That's my bar! Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Oh, man. He copied my whole fucking flow. Oh, shit. Not word for word, bar for bar. That's crazy. Took his flow. Took his... Shepard.

All right, my fault. So anyways, basically, y'all get the point. Timothy Shalame is out here doing whatever he pleases, and he's highly successful at it, which y'all may call glazing, but I'm literally looking at the... objective analytics for of course Marty supreme having the fastest selling pre-sales ever for an a 24 movie and of course already talking about his previous accolades as far as um his plethora of awards

i've already dove into so you know i don't want to beat a dead horse the main thing is i definitely want to give this enough time to expound upon why he's the kid is having a very interesting rise and he could be one of the rising stars in the rap game because of course it's one thing to have viral clip social media as far as this particular clip with him talked with timothy shallame talking about if he was actually eased the kid it's another thing for ease the kid to have his own successful career aside from timothy shallame and as far as future chart predictions slated for december 7th 27th he's slated to have the 87th most played track in the world with the original for ross track so i think timothy shallame definitely has something to do with it but at the end of the day

ease the kid is definitely a name to look out for and keep in mind as far as maybe one of the hottest rappers in 2026 as far as the rise that we're currently seeing right now so that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think about ease the kid and timothy shalame doing the spider-man meme and coming together for the four ross remix and do you think that ease the kid is one of the rappers to look out for as far as their rise in the year of 2026
