Seven piece Hip-Hop outfit Shorty launch their first mix-tape outing. Some may already have acquainted themselves with Shorty through one of their already critically acclaimed live shows. Producer Baby J has thrown together a sweet blend of East Coast Hip Hop, Philly Soul, New York Jazz and West Coast funk, to deliver a thoroughly entertaining blend. The mix includes popular tracks such as ‘Case of the Dead MC’, ‘Polar Bears’, ‘That’s why’, and also the hilarious Shorty take on the Kanye West hit ‘Gold Digger’. This is an extremely exciting mix with plenty of variation, it is also fairly exclusive and not high street shop friendly. The mix-tape will be available as a free download for one month from 1st April, and from the 1st May it will be accessible as a street release and download.
Release Date: 1st May 2006
Record Label: Gravy Records
