E-40 is expected out sometime early next year with "My Ghetto Report Card," and he told the Fader a little bit about what to expect:
What’s the story with the next solo album on BME?
It’s called My Ghetto Report Card, and it’s looking like the top of the year. January.
Who did beats for Ghetto Report Card?
We got Lil Jon, we got Droop-E, the Pharmaceuticals, Rick Rock, E-A-Ski…I’m not done yet, it’s going to be so hard for me to pick and chose. I got over 50 songs.
Are you excited to be starting out on a new label?
Oh yeah! It’s a second wind for me. It’s a good position I’m in.
How did you link up with Lil Jon?
In the early 90s, Too $hort was like one of the first dudes who kinda discovered Lil Jon. So I always used to see him at concerts and we’d pow wow—a good dude, you know? We did some music together, I got in a couple of his videos. I did a song with him called “Rep Yo City” and we connected perfectly on it. It became one of those winners! It was on my album, Jive slept on it, didn’t want to shoot a video. Lil Jon said man, this song is too hot, every time we play it in the club motherfuckers go crazy. So Lil Jon kept the same song and put it on his last album, which went double platinum.
