Dirt Nasty

Starting out as something Simon Rex was doing for fun in the comforts of his home and sharing with a few close friends in-between acting gigs, “DIRT NASTY” has evolved into a mainstream part of today’s pop culture. Sometime around 2005, Dirt Nasty popped on the scene as a member of his three-man group “Dyslexic Speedreaders” (which also included Mickey Avalon and Andre Legacy). Dirt produced and was featured on the groups cult hit “My Dick” which has since gone on to sell over 800,000 downloads and has been licensed in numerous film and TV shows. Dirt Nasty self-released his debut album in 2008, which featured the hit song “1980.” That song has gone on to sell over 85,000 individual downloads and has been streamed more than 14 million times on YouTube alone. In 2009, Dirt recorded “What Do You Say” with Lil Jon for the blockbuster film “The Hangover.” That song has since gone on to sell over 400,000 downloads. 2010 saw Dirt return with his second solo release, “Nasty As I Wanna Be”, that featured the likes of Ke$ha, LMFAO, Too Short, Warren G and others. The song and video for “I Can’t Dance” saw spins and support from radio and television networks such as FUSE and MTV (which Simon was a VJ on). Dirt teamed up with super-producer Diplo and his friends, Riff Raff and Andy Milonakis, to form the group “Three Loco.” November of 2012 saw the release of their 8-song album on Diplo’s own Mad Decent record label. The album garnished the group critical acclaim from the likes of MTV, Pitchfork, Vice Magazine and Perez Hilton just to name a few. In 2014 Dirt Nasty returned with his wildly successful 13-track record entitled “Palatial.” Through Dirt’s massive social media following, constant touring and a lead role in the major motion picture Scary Movie 5, Simon (or Dirt Nasty for that matter) truly solidified his place in the public’s consciousness. Kicking off 2016, Dirt returns with an EP promptly titled “Dirt Nasty Sux”, produced entirely by super producer Jason Lee "Jay E" Epperson. A St. Louis-born record producer and DJ, Jay E rose to fame as the main producer of rapper Nelly's multi-platinum albums, producing a multitude of hits for him (and countless others) such as “E.I”, “Ride Wit Me” and “Country Grammar.”
