Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid stays deep in the UK underground while his sophomore album “Canine” pushes an already heavy sound further. The masked artist follows his 2025 mixtape “Rebel” with a project built around darker production and cryptic visuals. He worked closely with producer Bhristo, whose credits include Lucki, Ken Carson, and Destroy Lonely. That collaboration points toward a heavier direction than much of his earlier material. The rollout gained steam with the single “RockWave,” which introduced listeners to the album’s more intense edge. Dog and paw imagery has also appeared across his social media, while a verse on “Treason” references “canine” directly. Those clues give fans a clear sense of the concept behind the record. EsDeeKid’s thick Scouse accent and rapid rise from the Liverpool underground have made him a standout figure in UK rap. “Canine” feels like a natural next step for an artist unafraid to experiment with heavier textures and sharper energy.
