Today, however, we bring you new music from Lil Dicky. In a way Dicky is stepping out of his usual comfort zone of mockery of the world around him. But, he is also stepping up his game of sharing the spotlight on the much-needed topics to be highlighted in the world. That’s what makes him real.
Lil Dicky’s brand new song, titled “Earth,” is a tribute to this gorgeous planet we live in. It is a tribute as well as a wake-up call towards what us humans have done to it, as it now draws towards its death bed. Us humans probably have around another 100 years before all those ‘sci-fi’ movies on post-apocalyptics earths become non-sci-fi.
So, Lil Dicky takes it upon himself to talk about the sad situation the Earth has succumbed to mainly due us humans’ wrong doings. He uses the beauty of the world, all over the world, as one example of how and why this Earth needs to be preserved.
For this good cause, a star-studded vocal cast joins Lil Dicky in the form of different animals who introduce themselves throughout the song. A grand total of 20 singers from all over the world provide vocals on this song; Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Halsey, Zac Brown, Brendon Urie, Hailee Steinfeld, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Adam Levine, Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth, Sia, Miley Cyrus, Lil Jon, Rita Ora, Miguel, Katy Perry, Lil Yachty, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, Joel Embiid, Tory Lanez, John Legend, Backstreet Boys, Bad Bunny, Psy and Kris Wu.
