Following the massive viral success of his “4 Raws” remix featuring Timothée Chalamet—which sent the internet into a frenzy late in 2025—Liverpool’s own EsDeeKid has returned to claim his throne with the high-octane “Omens.” Released on February 5, 2026, the track arrives as the Scouse emcee’s first major statement of the year, coinciding with his debut U.S. performance in Chicago. Produced by a global trio consisting of the UK’s Cppo, Massachusetts-based Toom, and Italy’s Wasa, the song features “horror-movie” keys and relentless, machine-gun hi-hats that draw comparisons to the experimental energy of Playboi Carti.
Lyrically, “Omens” is a “braggadocious and ignorant slapper” where EsDeeKid leans into his “rebel economy” mindset. He navigates the trunk-rattling 808s with a confident, effortless flow, claiming he’s the “one that is chosen” while delivering sharp bars about his rapid ascent from the streets of Liverpool to global charts. The accompanying music video, directed by Archie Erskine, further elevates the track’s dark aesthetic, featuring the masked rapper riding horseback through a winter landscape. Clocking in at a brief but potent two minutes, “Omens” serves as a perfect victory lap for an artist who has spent the last year shattering the boundaries of the UK underground.
