Can't Stay Away

GET ON DOWN EXCLUSIVE FIRST TIME ON VINYL

Too $hort claimed he was retiring in 1996 when he dropped album #10 Gettin' It, but a player like $hort couldn't stay away. After a three-year hiatus, he got back in the game and on July 11th, 1999, he dropped his 11th studio album aptly named Can't Stay Away.

Too $hort had been living in Atlanta for several years and this would be the first of many albums to come that would incorporate ATL's southern influences alongside his West Coast Bay Area sound. Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri, and NY to ATL transplant funk lord Erick Sermon contributed to the production along with features by Memphis' 8Ball & MJG and Houston's Scarface. The Bay Area sound would come from Ant Banks and Quint Black with West Coast features by E-40, B-Legit, Daz, and Soopa Fly. The album would also introduce several up-and-coming rappers from all regions of the US dubbed Nation Riders who were signed to Too $hort's new label imprint $hort Records. Can't Stay Away is classic Too $hort, full of more pimp tales including a sequel to Born To Mack's Freaky Tales and he don't stop rappin' biiiiattch.

Get On Down in partnership with Sony's CERTIFED is proud to present Can't Stay Away for the first time on vinyl. The album is pressed on juicy "Big Mack" colored vinyl with a custom OBI and printed insert limited to 1000 copies.
