Lil Bibby

Brandon George Dickinson (born July 18, 1994), better known by his stage name Lil Bibby, is an American rapper, singer, and record executive. Beginning his career in 2011, Bibby released his debut mixtape, Free Crack in 2013. It was followed by two sequels—Free Crack 2 (2014) and Free Crack 3 (2015)—until he signed with Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records, an imprint of RCA Records; however, he released no studio albums under the label.

By 2017, he founded and shifted focus onto expanding his record label, Grade A Productions. The label has signed commercially successful acts such as fellow Chicago native, late rapper and singer Juice Wrld, as well as Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi.

He was raised by a single mother who battled drug addiction, and he has two brothers, George (also known as “G-Money”) and Shawn.

In 2015, Lil Bibby received his high school diploma. Initially, he had opted for a GED and after completing the necessary coursework (with straight A's), he decided to re-enroll in high school. His alma mater was from Chicago's Liberty High School. A year later, after several universities had offered him scholarships, Bibby considered studying Computer Engineering at a university, although he ultimately decided against this.

In December 2022, Dickinson acquired an ultra-modern home in Los Angeles for US$7.9 million.

In 2013, Lil Bibby released his debut mixtape, Free Crack. He stated that his favorite rappers were Drake and Jadakiss, and the influence of both rappers was apparent in the project, according to Vice Magazine. The mixtape features guest appearances from fellow Chicagoans Lil Herb and King L, while production was handled by Hit-Boy, Young Chop and The Olympicks, among others. Hosted by DJ Scream, the tape combines his distinctive gruff and imposing voice with a solid delivery and flow. Music videos were released for the songs "How We Move" (featuring King L), "Change", "Water" and "Tired of Talkin'".

In December 2013, in an interview with XXL, Bibby hinted that the next step for his career could be an EP. In 2014, it was also stated, that the rapper Drake was a huge fan of Bibby and that they'd spoken in 2013, before the release of Bibby's debut mixtape. Bibby said it pushed him onto improve his debut release, adding the tracks "Water" and "Whole Crew".

In January 2014, Bibby appeared on Sway's radio show Sway in the Morning. On the show he spoke about the success of his debut mixtape, and also dropped a live freestyle. During the same month, Bibby also featured on New York's radio station, Hot 97. During the same month, Bibby stated in his interview with Billboard, that he was working on material for an EP, but was waiting on a couple of features. Bibby also appeared on the list of 2014's XXL Freshman Class. He was the last person selected to the list, due to Young Thug's last minute cancellation.
