“Timmy Tim” refers to Timothée Chalamet’s amateur rap persona from his years at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York. Retrospective coverage usually calls him “Lil Timmy Tim.” The videos were school-era performances, not evidence of a professional rap career at the time.
Who was Lil Timmy Tim?
Lil Timmy Tim was the name associated with Chalamet’s high-school rap performances. Netflix Tudum’s retrospective describes the material as part of his student years at LaGuardia, where performance videos and showcase appearances later resurfaced as his public profile grew. Netflix Tudum’s account

One early music-related clip is a 2008 video of Chalamet dancing to Soulja Boy. That is a separate dance clip, not one of the school rap performances. Netflix Tudum
Which Timmy Tim videos and performances are associated with him?
“Statistics”
“Statistics” is among the best-known school-era videos. TheWrap describes it as a rap for Chalamet’s math teacher; Tudum says the performance roasted a teacher who had given him a D on an exam. The accounts frame it as a school performance, not a commercial release. TheWrap · Netflix Tudum

LaGuardia’s Rising Stars showcase
Tudum identifies multiple appearances at LaGuardia’s annual Rising Stars student showcase, including a Timmy Tim performance in 2012. The showcase context matters: these were performances during his school years, not proof of a separate professional recording career. Netflix Tudum
“Hell’s Kitchen Bed”
Tudum also names “Hell’s Kitchen Bed” among the school-era Timmy Tim material. It belongs to the same retrospective trail of student videos and performances. Netflix Tudum
How did the old videos become a pop-culture callback?
Chalamet’s high-school rap resurfaced in public attention as his profile rose. In 2020, an Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Chalamet and Pete Davidson as exaggerated rappers prompted viewers to recall the old “Statistics” video. The sketch was a later comedic callback, not part of the original school performance. TheWrap’s coverage of the callback
How does the 2025 EsDeeKid collaboration fit in?
Chalamet later appeared with rapper EsDeeKid on “4 Raws Remix,” reported by LOS40 as released on December 19, 2025. LOS40 says Chalamet’s verse playfully references his Lil Timmy Tim alias. This is a distinct later collaboration; it should not be confused with the amateur performances he made as a student. LOS40’s report
