In an era where rap is dominated by racial, social, and economic minorities, LD decided to put the upper-middle class on his frail, Jewish shoulders. The results have been monumental. His debut mixtape, So Hard, has been categorized as “funny,” and “impressive” by his friends.
On 31st July 2015, Mr. Leftward-Sloping Penis released PROFESSIONAL RAPPER, featuring Snoop Dogg, Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan, T-Pain, Jace of Two-9 & brain.
A non-traditional rapper, Lil Dicky uses a mix of comedy, lyrical ingenuity, and self-deprecation to spew out entertaining and relatable content.
When he was 14, he opened up for the R&B group 112 at his overnight camp. He’s been rapping ever since.
