Too $hort

Too $hort is an American rapper and producer who was born on April 28th, 1966 in Los Angeles. He moved to Oakland at the age of 14 and began his rap career in the early 1980s with his high school friend making custom made cassette tapes known as "special requests" which were sold on the streets.

In 1985, Too Short officially released his first album on a local Oakland record label and later signed to another record label in 1987. It was during this time that he added the "$" to his name. Throughout his career, he has released over 25 full-length albums and continues to be active in the music industry.

Known for representing the 'pimp'/'playa' lifestyle in his lyrics, Too Short was one of the pioneers of this style. His trademark phrase "Biiiitch" has become synonymous with his music. If you enjoy artists such as Mack 10, Spice 1, or DJ Quik, you'll definitely appreciate Too $hort's unique sound.
