Lil Dicky’s debut album cements his talent as hip-hop artist

David Burd, better known by his stage name of Lil Dicky, released his debut album on July 31st. For those who don’t know of Lil Dicky: the rapper was popularized thanks to the viral music video for his song “Ex Boyfriend,” and for several other videos that followed. While the majority of Dicky’s work to date has been comedic, he did illustrate his rapping chops on his first mixtape “So Hard.” While Dicky’s new album expands upon his skill as a “serious” rapper, it still maintains the comedic character that gained his initial following. On the opening song of “Professional Rapper,” LD (as he calls himself) refers to his genre of rap as “anti-rap.” This is due to his atypical rap background, style and lyrics.
