When he wasn’t riding around in loaned McLarens, Lil Dicky – or Dave as he introduces himself – was trying to convince club and yacht owners to allow him and his crew to use their property for the shoot.

“We’re shooting a music video all about how we can make the most epic rap video ever for no money”. At the end of the video, he explains why he made a decision to “sell out” for this vid!
What is more, he crashed the set of T-Pain’s “Make That S**t Work” music video shoot.
Rappers Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan appear in the clip as well as T-Pain, National Basketball Association star Kevin Durant and comedian Hannibal Burress.
“$ave Dat Money” comes from Lil Dicky’s debut full-length album, Professional Rapper, which was released in July.
Obviously, Dicky and his people paid for gas and meals and editors, but they got access to the actual locations and cars and bottle service and such by simply asking if they could shoot there. By the time all is said and done, Lil Dicky is ghost-riding a Lamborghini, cruising on a yacht with some lovely ladies, and even partying on top of some dude’s ice cream truck.
Dicky – aka David Burd – was born in Philadelphia and began his career working as an account manager for an advertising agency.

The video was released Thursday and already has more than 1 million views. “I know this is kind of ridiculous, but I’m a rapper”.
