Upon the release of ‘Omens’, NME described the track as embracing “the grit and thumping production that put him on the map”. The rapper’s identity became the subject of an online conspiracy theory last year suggesting he was secretly Timothée Chalamet. The pair eventually joined forces for a remix of ‘4 Raws’, putting the speculation to rest. EsDeeKid later called out The Chainsmokers for releasing a separate, unauthorised remix of the track, which was subsequently removed from YouTube and SoundCloud. Before the headline tour, he will perform alongside Deftones, IDLES, Amyl And The Sniffers, JPEGMAFIA, Interpol and others at All Points East presents Outbreak Festival in London on August 23.
