WE’RE ALL ABOUT THE PASSION – MUSIC, MONEY & FASHION
EsDeeKid’s position didn’t come from luck or timing.
It comes from a city that has always been comfortable on the mic.
Long before playlists and algorithms, Scouse lads were MC’ing in nightclubs across Liverpool. Fast club records, full rooms, real pressure. It wasn’t theory — it was practice.

And breaking out of it...

What it lacked was a system that allowed that voice to move beyond the city. The accent was never the issue. Structure was. As trap and drill developed, they created space in the beat and clarity...

What started as a creative street-food concept beside the dunes has quickly become a much-loved part of the local scene. For many visitors, a walk along Crosby Beach now naturally ends with street food, drinks and a seat by the sea.
