EsDeeKid & Rico Ace: Council House Rat Tour in Salt Lake City

EsDeeKid, the masked Liverpool rapper known for a thick Scouse accent and cloud-rap-inspired sound, brings his Council House Rat Tour to Salt Lake City with frequent collaborator Rico Ace. After breaking through with the mixtape Rebel and the multi-million-stream single “Phantom,” the anonymous artist has become a prominent figure in the UK underground rap scene while keeping his face hidden behind a balaclava.

Live, EsDeeKid trades studio restraint for a heavy, almost rock-influenced energy: dark lighting, frequent moshing and the rapper as a shadowy figure at centre stage. For anyone who wants to see this masked act up close, the Salt Lake City stop is a chance to catch the tour as it crosses North America.
