This past weekend, for the last showdown of the year, Verzuz shared their tremendous platform with two Oakland legends–Too Short and E-40. The Bay Area Verzuz was the most expensive battle to date, closing in at $500 000 to set the stage for the Westcoast extravaganza.
Prior to their battle, these two heavyweights dropped a brand new joint album, Ain't Gone Do It/Terms and Conditions. In legendary producer and rapper style, off the marketing strength of one of the biggest stages to emerge in the culture in decades, and a new album, Too Short premiered his most recent video.
The single, "Oaklandish" is a match made in heaven, crafted with the help of fellow Oakland, California natives Guapdad 4000 and Rayven Justice, and appears on Ain't Gone Do It/Terms and Conditions.
On-screen, the three collaborators seem to be having a blast as they parade around town with women in candy-painted old school drop-tops across the Oakland Bay Bridge. A number of monumental Bay Area scenery is captured beautifully, along with folks doing donuts in the streets and a well-deserved cameo by Short's Verzuz opponent E-40.
Everyone from the 415, 510, 707, 408, 650, 925, 209–big up yourself. Shout out to Oakland!
