Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Often imitated but never duplicated, Too $hort (performing tonight with DJX, Shade Loc G, Hypnautic, King Tef, Johny Rocketz, 20:12, Nominee, Mya Rose, Spoke n Wordz, Playalitical and Felisa Latin Soul at Casselman’s) has been making records for almost thirty years, helping to establish Oakland, California, as a reputable rap haven. Starting out making beats for others in the ’80s, Too $hort went on to collaborate with the likes of Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Lil Jon and Spice 1.
His smart alec flow has graced more than eighteen of his own albums, and the rapper is readying the release of The History Channel, a joint effort with E-40 due out this summer. This show is twenty-one and up, and tickets are $15-20. Doors open at 9 p.m., and the performances begin immediately.
