From just the first glance, there is a kind of positivity and energy brimming off of her, and you can tell she is not fazed easily. A cross bread between Dominican and Bahamian parents who was born in the City of New York, bettythebandit has always been passionate about the music. It was the thing she found solace and sanctuary in and she has always wanted to pursue a career in music. Growing up, she was exposed to a plethora of musical influences from hip hop, R&B, pop, Latin, Drill and others and she wants her music to mirror her lifelong influences with that killer Drill, Latin pop and hip hop seamless blend!
Now based out in the West Coast, she wants to follow in the footsteps of fellow lionesses, Trina, Yo-Yo, Foxy Brown and others to make her own mark. As a former stripper, she certainly knows how to get that bag and has hustled her way up; she is now set to use the same energy, grit, and drive to take her music to the next level.
Lately, through reels on her social platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, she has been teasing her new track; “Koochie,” which I presume is the first single off of her upcoming EP. When I first heard this just over 30-second snippet, I quickly ran over to Shazam, thinking my favorite female lyricist had dropped something I wasn’t aware of!
You can feel automatically that bettythebandit got that star glow in her, a big, bold stage presence, and a voice that projects greatness. I have no doubt she will be giving rappers out here a run for their money.
With an unequalled stage presence, a work ethic to match, and the talent to astonish the rap world, I suggest you start paying more attention to the future of female rap: bettythebandit ladies and gentlemen!
To get acquainted with this fine upcoming rapper, follow her on all her social platforms, and you’ll be glad you did!
