The Block Brochure: Welcome To the Soil, Pt. 4, 5, & 6

One of the Bay Area\'s original rap stars, with a resume stretching back to 1990, Vallejo native E-40 is a living legend who refuses to ghostride off into the sunset. Blessed with one of the industry\'s most unique and instantly recognizable flows, he\'s been steadily making hits since day one: first with The Click and then as a solo artist, all while acting as an elder statesman and mentoring generations of young talent. Released in the spring of 2013, *The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 1, 2, & 3* is an extensive, 60-track triple album that finds him collaborating with pretty much every West Coast rapper you could think of, including fellow O.G.s Too Short (\"Be You\"); Snoop, Daz, and Kurupt (\"What You Smoking On\"); Spice 1 and Celly Cell (\"The Other Day Ago\"); JT the Bigga Figga and Cellski (\"With the Sh\*t\"); and even Hieroglyphics (\"40 and Hiero\"). Though the sheer volume of material here is a bit overwhelming, it\'s always good to hear 40 Water do his thing, and he still sounds great. Once you get through this, check out parts 4, 5, and 6 for another hot 60.
