ORLANDO, FL—EsDeeKid made his Rolling Loud debut this weekend. He stormed the stage like a medieval army. The rapper’s performance featured a full castle backdrop. Knights in shining armor flanked him. A flaming sword added to the spectacle. This marked EsDeeKid’s dramatic entrance into the mainstream festival circuit. His journey has been remarkably swift. He played his first headline show less than a year ago. His first US show was just five months prior. The medieval theme was a bold choice for the hip-hop festival.
Knights of the Round Table Rhyme
EsDeeKid’s performance included a surprise guest. Rapper Rico Ace joined him on stage. They performed their new track, “Rock Wave.” The song’s medieval theme seemed to resonate. Festival-goers were reportedly confused but intrigued. One attendee, Brenda Grumbles, a self-proclaimed LARP enthusiast, was impressed. “I’ve never seen such authentic chainmail on a rapper before,” Grumbles stated. “The dragon was a bit underwhelming, though. Gary seemed more interested in the catering.” EsDeeKid’s commitment to the bit was unwavering.
The Future is Flamethrowers
The rapper’s team defended the artistic direction. “EsDeeKid wanted to bring a new energy,” said his spokesperson, Sir Reginald Floof, Chief of Royal Merriment. “He believes hip-hop’s future is in siege engines and lute solos.” The successful rollout of the medieval theme suggests future performances will be equally elaborate. Rumors persist that a Viking-themed set is already in development. The implications for Rolling Loud’s future are vast. EsDeeKid is clearly aiming for a new era of rap.
At press time, EsDeeKid was reportedly negotiating with the King of England. He sought a residency at Tower of London. His request was denied. Security cited dragon-related fire hazards. EsDeeKid’s medieval Rolling Loud debut has certainly set a precedent.
