Bushwick Bill (born December 8, 1966 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a member of the rap group Geto Boys. A dwarf, in 1991 he was shot in the eye by his girlfriend after having a fight. A graphic picture of him in the hospital with his injury was on the cover of the Geto Boys' album We Can't Be Stopped. Bushwick Bill detailed the incident in the song Ever So Clear, as well as perfected his psychotic "Chuckwick" persona on his first solo album Little Big Man (1992). Shortly before the release of his second album Phantom of the Rapra (1995), he changed his name. He summarizes his name change in an interview:

My new name is Dr. Wolfgang Von Bushwickin the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay High Dollar Billstir.I call myself Dr. because that is someone who must be precise when they execute their job. The Wolfgang is because on the cool, I'm into classical music and my favorite artist is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Bushwickin has to do with me being a father now and producing my own next of kin. So now I'm reproductive both verbally and physically. The Barbarian is to show that I still have the mind of a lunatic and that nothing's changed as far as me coming hard-core rough and rugged. Mother Funky Stay High is a manifestation of the aftermath of chronic-izm. Dollar Bill because I'm currently currency in the United States and abroad. Finally, "stir" is on the end because when I kick shit I always manage to stir something up, whether it's the police, parents or pussy.

Bushwick Bill later released No Surrender...No Retreat in 1998 and Universal Small Soldier in 2001. No Surrender...No Retreat was dedicated to Gil Epstein, an assistant district attorney who was killed in 1996. The two became friends after Epstein was assigned to Bushwick's possession of marijuana case and Epstein convinced Bushwick that he was wasting his talents abusing drugs and alcohol.
