"Best known for his "wuk up" performance, a Bajan term used to describe his enviable pelvic gyration, Lil Rick has undisputedly earned himself the infamous title as the "Hypa Dawg." Guaranteeing his fans non-stop hype from the moment he enters the stage, they watch in awe as he commands crowds of screaming fans to attempt his well choreographed movements.
Since the release of well known tracks "Bumper Inspector" and "Hard Wine" in 1997 which marked his entrance onto the soca scene, he has released hit after hit and copped several titles throughout Barbados' Crop Over festival. In 1998 he won the Party Monarch Title with "Down Behind the Truck" and in 2002 and 2003 he won both the Party Monarch and Road March Titles with hit singles "Hypa Dawg" and "Mash Up & Buy Back" respectively. Throughout the years, Lil Rick has collaborated with the likes of soca diva Alison Hinds, Edwin Yearwood, Keann and Madd together with Trinidadian soca stars Machel Montano and Iwer George.
Lil Rick's fan base extends beyond the soca arena into the deejay and dancehall culture. Fans are guaranteed to find him deejaying across the island every weekend throughout the entire year irrespective of his involvement in the Crop Over festival."
