"Phantom" is a song by English rappers EsDeeKid and Rico Ace, released on 7 March 2025 as the second single from the former's debut studio album Rebel (2025). It went viral on the video-sharing app TikTok, following which it became one of EsDeeKid's breakout hits along with his songs "LV Sandals" and "4 Raws".
The beat of the song is marked by "stop-and-slow drums", in addition to "haunting Digitone synth lines and blown-out 808s layered over hard trap and off-kilter Jerk grooves". In his signature thick scouse accent, EsDeeKid raps about the pressures of living in an inner-city environment.
The Guardian described that the song's lyrics "come with catarrh-loosening k's, as if he's gobbing the words on to the pavement". Antonio Johri of Complex commented that the song has "some of the most intense, ear-catching beats in hip-hop" and "EsDee fires off bars like he's got endless breath, talking his shit while repping his hometown."
According to Luminate, the song earned 2.98 million official on-demand U.S. streams in the week of November 14âÂÂ20.
