Artist bio

There are at least 7 artists with the name Shorty.

(1) Shorty is a rapper from the famous Los Angeles rap group Da Lench Mob, which released an gold album "Guerillas In The Mist" under the legendary rapper's Ice Cube guidance. The title song was featured on the video game, Grand Thef Auto: San Andreas.

(2) Shorty was officially born in 1991 under the guise of vocalist Al Johnson and guitarist Mark Shippy. Along with drummer Todd Lamparelli and bassist Luke Frantom, they released three singles and two albums.
The group became Shorty and decided to officially keep the moniker in September. Atlanta, GA, label Worry Bird released the band's first 7", Last One in My Mouth Is a Jerk, late that year.
The group spent a week laying down songs at the Chicago Recording Company and mixing them at Steve Albini's home. Thirty five hundred copies of Shorty's debut LP, Thumb Days, were pressed by the Southern Germany based Gasoline Boost Records in April of 1993.
Shorty set out for a European tour in April of 1994. The band spent a month on the road with Champaign, IL, rock trio the Didjits. As they returned to America, Frantom had some personal business matters he had to take care of, which ultimately caused his separation from the band.
Shippy and Johnson gathered guitarist Todd Rittmann and drummer Jim Kimball -- to begin working on a new group. After replacing Kimball with Pat Samson, the new band became U.S. Maple.

(3) Shorty is one name for a reggae artist active in the 1970s, also known as Shorty the President or President Shorty. He worked with Bunny Lee amongst others.

(4) Is a croatian hip-hop artist.
Shorty ili pravim imenom Dalibor Bartulović Dado, vinkovački raper i začetnik tamošnje hip hop scene objavio je tek drugi album «Moj jedini način» i njime se ustoličio na prijestolje najoriginalnijeg i najangažiranijeg hrvatskog hiphopera.
Nakon prvog albuma «1,68» u kojem se ne samo autoironično (a to mogu samo oni bez ikakvog kompleksa) poigrao svojom visinom nego i napravio dva velika hita, «Zeka» i «Dođi u Vinkovce», Shorty je tek nakon tri godine kasnije objavio novi album – i eto imamo kralja autentičnog hrvatskog hip hopa!
Jer da je objavio samo pjesme «Heroji danas» i «Mariju» bilo bi dovoljno da Shortyja proglasimo velikanom.
Najprije, pjesma «Marija». Ako smo Shortyja proglasili Velebitom, onda je «Marija» - velebitska degenija, prava endem pjesma i po svemu jedan od hitova godine na hrvatskoj sceni.
Snažna, uvjerljiva, emotivna, tragična, iskrena, nadasve tužna i apsolutno slavonska – to su tek neki pridjevi koji se mogu vezati uz «Mariju», koja zaslužuje same superlative. Tamburaška pjevačica Vlatka Kopić-Tena izvanredno je «sjela» svojim vokalom uz Shortyjeve rime i pjesmi dala melodičnost, prijemčivost i - slavonsku dušu. Jedina paralela «Mariji» mogla bi biti «Uzalud vam trud svirači» Jasenka Houre i Prljavog Kazališta ili par uspješnica Đoleta Balaševića, a da nije bilo klanovske kuhinje Jurja Hrvačića na ovogodišnjem Radijskom festivalu na Hvaru, koji je iz raznih raloga želio promovirati makedonskog klona Tonyja Cetinskog Tošu Proeskog (s vrlo čudnom frizurom!), Shorty bi bio puno više od velikog moralnog pobjednika Hvara.
«Heroji danas» drugi su veliki hit sa Shortyjeva novog albuma. Njegov je postupak bio jednostavan: uglazbio je ono što obični mali ljudi (i on osobno) stvarno misle o «velikoj» hrvatskoj politici, o europskim ucjenama i nevjerojatnoj poniznosti naših vlastodržaca prema diktatu stranaca, čime se gubi svaki smisao hrvatskog ratnog herojstva i grčevite obrane u kojoj su upravo Slavonci stradali najviše i najtragičnije. «Heroji danas» su iskrena i snažna pjesma o svima nama i valja je slušati pažljivo.
Ako su neki naši hip hoperi često pomodni likovi koji su bržebolje utrčali u profitabilan glazbeni vlak, a vlastitu stvaralačku nemoć zamaskirali u psovke i zezalice, onda za Shortyja možemo reći da je veliki hip hop pjesnik, snažan poput Arsena na estradi, Gibe u popu ili Bareta u rocku. On je moćan autor, jedan od onih kojima se može vjerovati i stvarno uživati u njegovim pjesmama.
Album «Moj jedini način» sa svojih 15 pjesama pravo je malo remek djelo i jednostavno ga treba slušati, slušati i slušati... Jer je pravo nacionalno hip hop blago.
