Hip‑hop veteran Too Short, 60, of Oakland, confirmed the release of a new album on July 31. The project is produced entirely by longtime collaborator Lil Jon and includes guest verses from West‑Coast legends E‑40 and Tyga, with the lead single titled “Drink and Smoke.” Lil Jon’s late son Slade contributed to the album before his passing. In the interview, Too Short reflected on a four‑decade career, arguing that age should not dictate when artists retire, and noted that former Vice President Kamala Harris once named him her favorite living rapper, highlighting their shared Oakland roots.
The discussion also touched on the evolving nature of hip‑hop, with Too Short emphasizing the professionalism veteran artists bring to modern recording sessions.
