A year ago, Lil Dicky dropped the star-studded, climate-positive track "Earth".
His dedication to environmental causes runs deep. To celebrate Earth Day this year, Dicky donated an impressive $800K to six different earth-based charities, Amazon Frontlines, the Carbon Cycle Institute, Global Greengrants Fund, Quick Response Fund For Nature, Shark Conservation Fund, The Solutions Project the and COVID-19 x Climate Response Fund.
Happy Earth Day. The fight to save this planet is just getting started, and I know times are scary right now. But look at how we band together and modify our behavior when we have to. Let's apply that energy to saving the Earth. https://t.co/KdxPMQ0Ey3

Dicky explained why he gave so much.
“I’m very honored and humbled that we’re able to give this money to these organizations, and super thankful of all of the artists on this song who made this possible. And of course, thank you to every Earthling out there for listening and spreading the word. Unfortunately, the fight to save this planet isn’t even close to over, and we’re going to have to amplify our efforts way more to turn this thing around. Because pretty soon, it’ll be too late. Even though times have never been scarier with the COVID-19 pandemic, it has shown me something: that we can modify our day-to-day behavior to adapt to a crisis when it’s right in front of us. Even if you don’t feel the climate crisis at every moment, it is truthfully right in front of us.”
Did you think Dicky had that kind of cash?
