James Tha Spitta is a Bay Area rapper from Redwood City, CA. Coming from El Salvadoran and Nicaraguan descent, The name Spitta came from being tested as a kid constantly when he told people he rapped. People would say let me hear you spit something and he would not back down from the moment. A friend noticed it and said damm, you're always down to spit something. We should call you Tha Spitta. This name ended up sticking with him. He was always into music, but when he was introduced to the Riekes Center, he was finally given an opportunity to record, and he never looked back. There, he met a brilliant and well-connected emcee, Shamako Noble, who took him under his wing and allowed me to grow as an artist. He also met and learned from Redwood City emcee Rahman Jamaal and East Palo Alto emcee B-Jada. These individuals were a vital piece to Spitta's growth as an artist. They were lacing him up with a game at a young age and teaching him the business side of music and the history of hip-hop culture. This helped him develop into a well-rounded artist. Spitta has a versatile style, from club bangers to songs for the ladies to just spitting bars on a track. Spitta prides himself on making music with substance. Spitta tries to use his platform to inspire others and motivate people to go out there, chase their dreams, and never give up.
