With the third installment of his Time Pieces series, Jason Goldwatch takes viewers behind-the-scenes with Bay Area legend Too $hort. Going on to detail the inspiration behind the shoot, Goldwatch went on to share:

Too $hort is like the mayor of Oakland. I wanted to create something that really felt like the Bay, and not in the stereotypical pimp shit kinda way. Short volunteers at a youth center in East Oakland called Youth Uprising. I headed over to his crib around noon and we went and bought a boom box, and did it for the kids at Youth Uprising, playing tracks off an iPod mini. He’s a true OG and a sentient being of wonderful pimp light.

Press play up above and enjoy.
