Lil Dicky

David Burd, also known as Lil Dicky, is a rapper, comedian, and actor with a fast-paced flow similar to Twista and a comedic/absurdist style like the Lonely Island crew. At first, he pursued rapping to break into television and film writing. However, after posting his song "Ex-Boyfriend" in 2013 and receiving one million views in a week, he realized his dream was coming true. His debut album, Professional Rapper, debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 and topped the charts for Top Rap, Comedy, and Independent Albums. He went viral again in 2018 with the Chris Brown-assisted "Freaky Friday," which became an international smash. Two years later, Burd co-produced and starred in the acclaimed autobiographical comedy series Dave. Penith: The Dave Soundtrack, which featured music from all three seasons of the show, appeared in 2024. Raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, Burd graduated from the Richmond Robins School of Business in 2010 at the top of his class. A move to San Francisco came next, then he began working on Lil Dicky, writing rhymes, cutting demos, and storyboarding videos for two years before he showed them to the public. He first saw rapping as a way to transfer musical success into television and film writing success, but when he posted "Ex-Boyfriend" and reached a million views within the week, hip-hop lover Burd realized his hip-hop dream was already a reality. The 2013 hit landed on the So Hard mixtape that same year, while "White Crime" ("Walk into the movie with my pants full/Twix, bag of chips, plus a Snapple") appeared in 2014. "Classic Male Pregame" arrived a year later, along with Dicky's debut album, Professional Rapper, which featured guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Fetty Wap, Hannibal Buress, and more, as well as the single "$ave Dat Money" with Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan. The effort debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top Rap, Comedy, and Independent Albums charts, becoming one of the biggest indie releases of the year. Following a 2017 EP from his side project Brain, Lil Dicky returned with 2018's "Freaky Friday," a collaboration with Chris Brown. The single hit number one Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart and number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. In April 2019, Lil Dicky released the charity single "Earth" and a corresponding animated music video for Earth Day, with the proceeds going to environmental charities. Focused on raising awareness about climate change, the song featured vocals from over 30 high-profile guests, including Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, John Legend, and many other stars. The single reached number 17 on Billboard's Hot 100. In 2020, Burd teamed up with producer Jeff Schaffer for the FXX television program Dave, a comedy series based on Burd's life. Popular with fans and critics, the show ran for three seasons and spawned the 2024 release Penith: The Dave Soundtrack.
