Professional Rapper benefits and plays off the Snoop Dogg feature so well that this song immediately sets the following tracks a huge challenge in terms of topping it. The best three tracks on the album are the titular Professional Rapper, Save dat Money and Pillow Talking. That’s perhaps the only downside to Professional Rapper. Compared to the first half of the album which had features galore that were spaced out well the second half kind of loses its footing. Track Fourteen to Twenty seems to drag a little with just Dicky providing vocals. The delivery is on-point and quite distinct already. The production of the album is on point, the verses from Dicky are well thought-out. From the start Dicky has been invested in by very successful people – which comes as no surprise when listening through the album.įrom the comedic, well structured songs like Lemme Freak, Who Knew, White Crime and Classic Male Pre-Game to the groundbreaking Pillow Talking (okay, tell me another song like it and tell me it isn’t groundbreaking) that spawned an entire side-project EP Lil Dicky keeps listeners entertained by bringing a funny side to rap that you kind of still take seriously. Not only that, Logic also gets to work with T-Pain on track Personality. Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan provide an excellent chorus and verse respectively on the track Save dat Money. Brendon Urie, who features on ‘Molly’īrendon Urie proves to be a great feature in the track Molly. The song is instantly a highlight of the entire album but that’s not to say that the positives stop there.

The album kicks off with a feature from Snoop Dogg and the eponymous Professional Rapper. Snoop Dogg, who features on the intro track Lil Dicky hadn’t actually done much prior to Professional Rapper however and in terms of a debut album it massively exceeded expectations.

It was released on July 31st, 2015 by the Commission and ADA record labels. It featured Snoop Dogg, Brendon Urie, Hannibal Buress, Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan, Jace, T-Pain as well as a persona/ character called Brain.
