Shorty, born Dalibor BartuloviÃÂ, is a Croatian rapper from Vinkovci. He released his debut album in 2004 under the name 1,68 and became famous with his two records "Zeka" and "DoÃÂi u Vinkovce".
Dalibor was born and raised in Vinkovci, Croatia, and became interested in hip hop from a young age. He started to write rap lyrics in 1998. In 1999, he started to freestyle on the local radio station VFM on a show called Black Thing. A year later (2000) he was a co-former of a hip-hop group called B2. They made the greatest hip-hop demo group hit record produced by Shot (of Elemental) with the featuring of SADE and Remi (of Elemental). He was a guest on the "8 Mile Freestyle Battle" live show held in Zagreb, in club Aquarius (in 2002). Shortly after, the group B2 fell apart and Shorty started his solo career and formed a new hip-hop group with Saba and DJ Makro Polo called Bon-Ton. At the end of 2003, he started to make records in MORRIS studio (owned by Miro VidoviÃÂ) for his debut album.
At Aquarius Records, Shorty released 1,68 in 2004 with his hit records "Zeka" (with guest-appearance of Duà ¡ko ÃÂurliÃÂ), "DoÃÂi u Vinkovce" featured by Miroslav à  tiviÃÂ, "Apel za mir" featured by Edo Maajka and "Boà ¾iÃÂna" featured by Remi. After three years with no records, he released his second album called Moj jedini naÃÂin. The entire second album is dedicated to Shorty's cousin Tomislav "Tomi" Bartuloviàwho was born in 1980 and died in 2005. The last track on the album talks about Shorty's love and relationship with his cousin Tomi. In song, Shorty raps: "i na kraju jos bih ti htio reci hvala, moj braticu Tomi, bila te je cast poznavat'" ("and in the end I'd also like to say thank you, my cousin Tomi, it's been an honor to know you"). In 2007 he married Ana Ambrenac.
