Buffalo, NY's Short Moscato is
back with his sophomore project "My First Pair of Slippers."
The 11-track effort features Billie Essco, HOP HOP, Little Cake & Illusive
with production from Wza, S'likedat, Scheme, Vice Versa, Program & More. Short's
mother took a photograph of him at age 4 in his first pair of slippers -
Donald Duck slippers - which is one of his earliest memories of
childhood: the comfort of those slippers.
"My First Pair of Slippers"
is a coming-of-age album that showcases Short as an artist who is
comfortable in his own skin; comfortable being true to himself and his
art. The album is dedicated to his mother and godmother, who is
currently battling ALS.
"When Wza played the beat for me the
first time, it reminded me of extreme euphoria... the kind you get when you're
peaking. when i peak, there's usually a huge comedown. I use Xanax to help
combat that. I don't even think Xanax is all that sweet, but it helps me in
those situations. I just pass out and wake up feeling better. This song is
about all of the 8,230 emotions that run through my head when I am high, and
how I cope with it." - Short Moscato
