Jake Hill (born 1991/1992) is an American singer and rapper also known professionally as iAmJakeHill, ur pretty and his country music persona Dixon Dallas. His 2023 country song "Good Lookin" went viral on TikTok with users being shocked and entertained by its graphic sexual lyrics.

Career

Hill was born in 1991 or 1992.[1] He is from Alabama.[2] He began rhyming songs when he was twelve years old.[3]

Under his main alias iAmJakeHill, Hill has released rap music including a mix of alternative rock and metal.[3]

As ur pretty, Hill releases pop-punk songs,[2] centered around queer-inclusive lyrics.[2] He posted his first song, "Keep Riding Me," as ur pretty on October 10, 2021. He posted his second song, "I'll Never Let You Go," on December 8, 2021, which is a pop-punk themed song including lyrics about love and relationship. His next two songs, "Hit My Spot" and "Fill Me Up," are more centered on gay sex and queer love.

Under his Dixon Dallas persona, he teased his first country single on May 30, 2023, posting a clip to TikTok. He released the first song, "Like Whiskey”, as Dallas on June 20, 2023.[2] It features raunchy lyrics describing gay sex.[2] Following the success of his first single, he posted another video on TikTok with a clip of his second country single, which went viral amassing over twenty million views within two months of posting, and "Good Lookin'" was subsequently released on June 28, 2023. When questioned about queerbaiting during an August 2023 interview with Pride, he has shared that he enjoys producing music that is contrary to the conservative Southern culture he was raised in.[4] Hill elaborated that, "I haven't disclosed my sexuality. I could be gay. I could be straight. I could be bi. At the end of the day, I feel like it doesn't matter."[4] On August 15, 2023, he released "F-150" and "Better Without You," two more songs centering around gay love and gay sex.[5] Dixon Dallas made his first live in-person debut in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 31, 2023 at the Masquerade and again on September 1, 2023 in Orlando, Florida, at Level 13.
