People heard the hypnotic lyrics speaking of a hustlerâs life. In this music they were consumed with the trials, situations and even the celebration of someone who seem to live the streets. And so these people came to one conclusion, âI Bet He Grind,â and Bettie Grind was named.

Hailing from Charlotte, NC, Bettie spit his first verse in his best friendâs living room on top of Outkastâs âBlack Iceâ beat. He continued to toy with the craft, but never gave it full attention until competing on Power 98âs âFree Style Fridayâ where rappers battle for bragging rights.

After Bettie Grindâs countless wins between 2004 and 2005, D.J. Mr. Incognito requested he drop a verse for Incogâs 5 oâclock traffic jam mix on Sept. 25, 2005.

Inspired by rap legends B.I.G., Jay-Z and Nas as well as others like Outkast and Raekwon. Grindâs style is groundbreaking, shattering every bar to resound the life of a hustler one verse at a time.

In June of 2004, Bettie Grind was chosen out of 500 acts as one of 30 to perform in Forever Loved Entertainmentâs (E.A.R.S.) talent showcase. He went on to become one of the top five finalists at Club Babalua in Times Square, NY.

The song Bettie performed was also chosen by E.A.R.S. to be placed on their compilation album, which was released in November of 2004. He was requested to come back to New York and perform the song at Club Shyne during the E.A.R.S. album release party.

Medici, âDa StreetCaptain,â of Radio One asked Bettie to release his club single, âFa Sho Pimpinâ.â The single is a track off of his debut album, âThrilla.â

âFa Sho Pimpinâ â has received rave reviews and mix show spins from D.J. Mr. Incognito of Power 98, Boogie D, Lady Q, and Medici of Radio One. Radio Host, Fly Ty, requested Bettie to release the track to Charlotteâs #1 Hip Hop and R&B radio station so it could be worked into rotation.

The song was placed on The Morning Madhouseâs special feature, âThe Next Big Thing.â This feature allows local artists to introduce their music to listeners, radio personalities and the stationâs program directors. This audience has the ability to vote the song into rotation. âFa Sho Pimpin'â was also given the first and only 100 rating in the featureâs history. Therefore, Program Director Teri Avery and Music Director Deon Coles scheduled the song into rotation August 2005.

âBettie Grind...HOT! There are no other words needed,â says radio host Fly Ty. âBettie Grind has the charismatic style of rap tycoon Jay-Z, but with the lyrical energy of rap mogul Ludacris,â says D.J. Live of Power 98.

Grind opened for Young Jeezy at Summer Fest in Charlotte, N.C. He recently opened for Trillville at Club Diamond along with other industry artists. On Dec. 3rd 05â he shared the stage with Lilâ Wayne, Big Boi and The Purple Ribbon All Stars at The Jingle Jam in the Charlotte Coliseum. He has also shared the mic with Anthony Hamilton remixing the unforgettable ballad, âCharlene.â

Bettie has toured with Power 98 for the past two years on there âStop, Think, and Liveâ Tour, where he performed in the communities of Charlotte, N.C. and surrounding areas to youths.
