Bill’s father was a merchant marine, and his mother was a maid. Although born in Kingston, the rapper grew up in New York, United States, and his nickname represents the Brooklyn district where he lived. Bill began his music career in the hip-hop group Geto Boys as a dancer “Little Billy” in 1984. Later, he transitioned to performing as Bushwick Bill. The group was signed with the Rap-a-Lot Records label. The group currently consists of Bill and Willie D. The Geto Boys’ singles are based on unusual topics, such as necrophilia, violence, sex, and others. Bill left the group in 1997 but returned in 2002.

The debut solo album “Little Big Man” was released in 1992, which included the single “Ever So Clear”, reaching number 1 on the US Hot Rap Singles in 1992. Three years later, Bill released the second album “Phantom of the Rapra”. In 1998, he released the album “No Surrender…No Retreat”, dedicated to Gil Epstein, his friend who was shot two years before the album’s release. Bushwick Bill subsequently released three more albums: “Universal Small Souljah” in 2001, “Gutta Mixx” in 2005, and “My Testimony of Redemption” in 2010. The last album is a Christian rap mixtape, as the rapper turned into a re-born Christian in 2006. The sales of these albums undoubtedly contributed to Bill’s wealth.

Bushwick Bill agreed to be followed everywhere by cameras for a few years to make a documentary, called “Bushwich Bill: Geto Boy”, aiming to separate myths from reality.

In his personal life, Shaw is not married but has four children: two sons and two daughters (one son is adopted). The rapper’s physical characteristics are a little bit unique, as he has dwarfism and is missing his right eye. There is a whole story behind his missing eye: in 1991, he was shot by his girlfriend during a fight after Bill threatened her while intoxicated with alcohol. The conflict left him without an eye, and he even wrote a song about this event and addiction to Everclear alcohol, “Ever So Clear”, which became very popular.

Bushwick Bill was arrested in Georgia in 2010 and faced deportation for possession of drugs; cocaine and marijuana. Richard Shaw is a fan of Kendrick Lamar, Common Sense, and Talib Kweli.
