E-40 and Too $hort are making sure the final Verzuz of 2020 is different from the others.
According to TMZ, the two will perform inside of a state-of-the-art soundstage in Northern California with a reported budget of $500,000. The two MC’s will be surrounded by concert-style lighting and expensive props such as two old school cars and more. The Verzuz will be a complete homage to Bay Area Hip Hop with car culture, slang and more to be incorporated.
The Verzuz was originally scheduled to take place at an even more interesting location — the Steve Jobs Theater located on the Apple Campus. However, due to safety concerns with the coronavirus, the show was moved.
40 and $hort’s celebration arrives in place of Keyshia Cole and Ashanti’s Verzuz matchup which was postponed on December 12 due to Ashanti testing positive for COVID-19. The two titans of the Bay have both contributed platinum efforts such as Short’s Born To Mack and Life Is… Too Short and 40 Water’s In A Major Way.
