Lil Dicky, whose real name is David Andrew Burd, is a distinctive voice in the modern hip-hop landscape known for his witty lyrics, comedic style, and satirical approach to the genre. Born on March 15, 1988, in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, he initially entered the public eye with the release of the music video for his song "Ex-Boyfriend," which quickly went viral in 2013. This unexpected internet success set the stage for his career in music.

With a background in advertising and a natural flair for humor, Lil Dicky rose to prominence through his unique approach to rap; he blends the comedic elements of his personality with adept lyricism and polished production. His 2015 debut album, "Professional Rapper," showcased his talents and even featured a track of the same name where he holds a mock job interview with legendary rapper Snoop Dogg. The album reflects his diverse skill set, effortlessly jumping from humorous narratives to earnest commentary. Lil Dicky has since continued to push boundaries, with tracks like "Earth," an environmental anthem featuring star-studded artist collaborations, and "Freaky Friday" featuring Chris Brown, which went on to become a cultural phenomenon. Alongside his music career, he co-created and stars in the semi-autobiographical comedy television series "DAVE," further highlighting his multifaceted artistry and expanding his reach to new audiences.
