In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, host Analytic Dreamz dives into the viral collaboration between Liverpool's masked drill rapper EsDeeKid and Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet on “4 Raws (Remix),” surprise-dropped December 19, 2025. 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.
