What do the Roxy, Scion and Too $hort have in common?

Besides all having O’s in their names, they will bring a fun, free, night to everyone on the guest list.

Representing both Los Angeles and Oakland, Too Short was the first West Coast rap star, with five platinum-selling albums under his belt. Dropping wax like Gettin’ It and Shorty Pimp, Too Short definitely ranks as one of the most successful solo rappers of the 1980s and early 1990s.

So if you are 21 or older and want to jump on the bandwagon to see a legend live, and, best of all, for free, visit Scion.com and sign up for the guest list.

The $how is on August 23rd and the guest list will be strictly enforced. Unless you're one of Hef's girlfriends, of course, right Kendra?

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
