Bitta Blood

Richard Sewell, AKA Bitta Blood was born in



Saint Ann Jamaica. He left Jamaica at the tender



age of six to form a new life in New York.



Although he was surrounded by Hip Hop he still



managed to maintain is fascination and love for



the dancehall. Capleton was the first real artist



Bitta studied until he was introduced to Bounty



Killer. His brother gave him the album “My



Experience” And Bitta was determined to sound



like Bounty. He studied the album back and forth



practicing the lyrics, the pattern (Flow),



and the deep voice that we have all been accustom



to hearing form the “Killer”. When school was over



he and his best friend used to turn headphones in



to microphones, just to hear how he would sound



on speaker. Bitta attended Theodore Roosevelt



high school in is freshman year. He quickly made



friends with the older Jamaicans, who used to



“chill” on the second floor corner everyday.



Bitta had already been writing his own songs, so



when it was time to clash the older guys was no



match for him. After every clash they would say



“bwoy him Blood Bitta” and that’s how he got the



name Bitta Blood. After graduating high school he



went to Jamaica to see how far his talent would



take him. He made some big links and was



interviewed on “hype” T.V. He soon realized he



had to finish college and he did not have time or



money to travel back and forth. Bitta decided to



pursue his career in New York, while hitting the



books at the same time. Today he has under



ground hits like “ Lose your mind (Self



Produced)”, Dance cyan done (Villain)”, and “You



Dip (Applause). He describes is DJ style as being



aggressive like Bounty Killer, Lyrical like Biggie,



versatile like Beenie Man, and rhymes with speed



and word play like Big Pun. He is determined to be



Dancehalls king of New York without a doubt. So



when you hear “ if is sweet it jus cant be me” or



“ mi a di hardest regardless”, you know it New



York’s finest, Bitta Blood.
