Lil Dicky seems to be transitioning from comedy rapper to TV star.

His Kevin Hart and Scooter Bruan produced half-hour comedy hits FX this spring.

But Dicky wants all of his friends to know he's not going to forget about music.

I just wanted every Dickhead to know that even though I’m putting out a real doozy of a TV show in March, I’ve never stopped rapping. And Lil Dicky the musical artist is far from done. I know that it’s been about four and a half years since I’ve put an album out, and that’s much longer than either you or I would’ve hoped for. It must be annoying, I get it. If drake took that long, I’d be so sad! And I’m sorry for that. I don’t like letting you down. But as it turns out, it takes me a long ass time to make the ideal body of work. I really wish it didn’t, but it does. The good news is, I’ve made a ton of incredible music over these years. Boy oh boy have I evolved and blossomed!! You will hear it and love it and be proud of me, and less annoyed with me. But I gotta finish it and then roll it out right. You only get so many cracks at doing what I’m about to do. Making this tv show has been everything I’ve ever dreamed of, and you guys are gonna be BLOWN AWAY and love that even more than anything you’ve seen from me musically. And you’ll learn so much more about me, and why a man like me takes five years to make an album. But I can’t wait till it’s out so I can get back to the music that made you care about me in the first place. I’m an elite, world class rapper, and I look forward to proving that to the world, and validating all of you who believed that I had it in me in the first place. The dog days are almost over. Thank you for sticking with me. Love, Dave and Lil Dicky at the same time

Would you consider Dicky elite?
