Earl Stevens (born November 15, 1967) best known by his stage name E-40, is a Bay Area rapper, part of the Bay Area rap group The Click and founder of Bay Area hip-hop record label Sick Wid It Records.[first= Jason] After the release of The Click's first album Down and Dirty, E-40's local solo debut was released.
E-40 worked almost exclusively with Bay Area rappers until 1997, when he and cousin B-Legit released Southwest Riders, a compilation featuring prominent Bay Area and Southern artists
. The album's aim was to bridge the gap between the two regions given their distinct similar sounding rap music . E-40 jumped into the limelight in 1995 with his single "Sprinkle Me" from his album In A Major Way. Often heralded as his best album, In A Major Way went gold in 1996. Since it's release in 1995, E-40 has released seven more albums with My Ghetto Report Card being his biggest release since In A Major Way. From 2004 to 2008, he hosted a weekly radio program on San Francisco hip-hop station KMEL titled E-Feezy Radio, showcasing Bay Area hip hop music.
After a talent show at Grambling State University, E-40 and his cousin B-Legit decided to attempt a career in rap. They moved back to Vallejo and teamed up with D-Shot, E-40's brother, to form the group Most Valuable Players. E-40's gospel singing uncle (Saint Charles") helped them put out the record. E-40's sister, Suga T, was then added to the group to form The Click.
On December 28, 2008, five people were injured in a shoot-out outside E-40's Denver, Colorado concert at the Vinyl nightclub.
E-40's latest music can be heard on 13 year old Dr. Dre protoge' Ice-Cold's debut album "10 million Degreez Below Zero" on the single "I Go" wich also features rapper's Ron Ron and [[S.O.D. Money Gangs' Arab.
