Derek Michael Armstead, aka Bloodshed aka Blood Debiasi was a rapper affiliated with fellow Harlemites Big L, Ma$e, McGruff, Digga and Bloodshed's own cousin Cam'Ron.

Born on July 31, 1975 in Harlem, New York City, Bloodshed started rapping at a young age and was a counterpart of the legendary but short-lived supergroup 'Children of the Corn' until he died in a fatal car accident on March 2, 1997 - in his hometown of Harlem aged 22, which caused the split of Children Of The Corn. Prior to his involvement with Children Of The Corn. Digga, Bloodshed and his cousin Cam'ron recorded several tracks as a group under the name 'Caged Fury' before the Children of The Corn-days.

Bloodshed grittily delivered intelligent Street Tales and punchlines over beats composed of hardcore drums and eerie samples (Primarily Digga production) and was evidentally a primary influence in his cousin's career. Bloodshed released one solo track 'Paint The Town Red' in his short-lived career. The tracks chorus samples Kool G Rap and displays some of Bloodshed's amazing lyrical and punchline ability. An unreleased compilation of 'Caged Fury' material is set to be released by Digga (Six Figga Ent.) in the near future, although no release date has been set.

REST IN PEACE BLOODSHED.
