"4 Raws" is a song by English rapper EsDeeKid and the third single from his debut studio album Rebel (2025). It went viral on the video-sharing app TikTok, following which it became one of his breakout hits along with his songs "LV Sandals" and "Phantom".
Composition
[edit | edit source]The song finds EsDeeKid rapping about his past, substance use and persona over a gritty beat.[1] Stylistically, it has been compared to Music by Playboi Carti.[2]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Nathan Evans of Dazed wrote "Whether he's barking at the beat or slouching back, he uses every harsh quality of the accent to his advantage. 'I'm a burden, I'm a scumbag / I was raised in Liverpool's slums, lad,' he spits out on '4 Raws'. From the way he delivers it, you can tell he wouldn't have it any other way."[2]
Commercial performance
[edit | edit source]According to Luminate, the song earned over three million official on-demand U.S. streams in the week of November 14–20.[3]

On December 19, 2025, despite not being released onto streaming platforms, EsDeeKid followed through with a surprise release of the remix for the track, which saw him feature the American and French actor Timothée Chalamet on the track following the viral speculation that EsDeeKid was Chalamet in disguise, completely debunking that theory.[4][5]
