"Man this joint crank hard as s***" - Lusion
talking about D.H.'s latest video - "Let's
Rock'
Raised in the inner city streets of Baltimore,
Maryland native D.H. "Da Hitwryter" was known for her tough and gritty
play on the local area basketball courts.
This multi-talented female, born
Dionne Halsey, began an on and off affair with music at the early age of 7.
Though she was heavily involved with dance, and church activities, free-styling
hip-hop lyrics was something that she also loved to do for family and friends,
but it was clear that her love for music came second to her dream of becoming a
basketball player. But unfortunately injuries and other ailments caused Dionne
to give up that dream and rekindle her love for music. In 2004 Dionne met with
DJ Unreaper, CEO of Un World Records, and independent label, which then because
Un World Entertainment. D.H. went on to
sign a contract to become an Executive, overseeing the marketing and promoting
duties. She also began to emerge as a songwriter, and a recording artist.
At UWE Dionne established herself as an artist by
being featured on several projects, as a journalist writing several articles
for Un World's website, a radio co-host making brief appearances on UWE
radio/talk show and as an up and coming ambassador, attacking key social and
political issues through various online campaigns.
In December of 2007, by now
well known as one of the hottest femal writers and rappers in the area, D.H. joined Kristin Price, CEO of Priceless Music, as a
songwriter/artist/vocal arranger/background vocalist. Projects include the
recently released Suga Brown album Got
Suga? on which Da Hitwryter wrote Beyond Love, Give it Up and Lose
It. DH is also featured as
a rapper on Sick, Lose It and All For You.
