E-40 Biography

E-40 is an American rapper entrepreneur and investor from Vallejo California. He is a member of the rap group The Click and the founder of Sick Wid It Records.
E-40 made his rap debut in 1990 with the EP Let's Side as a member of The Click. The EP was co-produced by Mike Mosley and Al Eaton and was released on Sick Wid It Records an independent label founded by E-40. In 1992 they released a second album Down and Dirty and in 1993 E-40 made his solo album debut. That album Federal was produced by Studio Ton and released by Sick Wid' It Records in association with SMG (Solar Music Group) a regional distributor.
After a talent show at Grambling State University the E-40 and his cousin B-Legit decided to attempt a career in rap. Together and with his sister Suga-T they released their 1993 mainstream radio hit “Captain Save a Hoe.” They moved back to Vallejo and teamed up with D-Shot E-40's brother to form the group MVP. Suga-T was then added to the group to form The Click.
Synonymous with Bay Area rap E-40 garnered a regional following and eventually a national one with his flamboyant raps while his entrepreneurial spirit embodied by his homegrown record label Sick Wid' It Records did much to cultivate a flourishing rap scene to the east of San Francisco Bay in communities such as Oakland and his native Vallejo. Along with Too Short Spice 1 and Ant Banks E-40 was among the first West Coast rappers to sign a major-label deal penning a deal with Jive Records in 1994 after years of releasing music independently.
