Too $hort – Gettin’ It (Album Number Ten) (2LP Reissue) [Get On Down GET51531]

***PRE-ORDER – Est. 30/8/24***

In 1996, after 14 years in the game that started with Too $hort and Freddy B selling tapes out of the trunk of their car in East Oakland, Too $hort announced he would be retiring. On May 21, 1996, Too $hort released his 10th studio album ‘Gettin’ It’ with the lead single of the same name featuring Parliament Funkadelic. Retirement was more of a hiatus as Too $hort got back in the game in 1999 with the appropriately named album ‘Can’t Stay Away’.

If ‘Gettin’ It’ was going to be Too $hort’s last album, he was going off on a high note by earning his 6th Platinum record. In addition to having Parliament Funkadelic contribute to two songs, Ant Banks and Shorty B are back with their laid-back Bay Area funk along with some G-Funk contributions by Colin Wolfe, L.A. Dre, and Spearhead X. Too $hort delivers another Bay Area classic full of nasty pimpin’ rhymes with dope features by MC Breed, Erick Sermon and Rappin’ 4-Tay.

Previously only available on promo vinyl, Get On Down in partnership with Sony’s CERTIFED is proud to present a proper vinyl release of ‘Gettin’ It’ in an orange swirl-coloured vinyl run packaged in a gatefold jacket with a foldout lyric sheet.
