'''E-40''', real name Earl Stevens, is an American Main/HipHop artist hailing from the Bay Area (specifically Vallejo). Starting in the early 90's as part of a family group named The Click, but quickly became known as a solo artist within the Bay Area and Californian hip-hop scenes for his casual style of rapping, and for his creative wordplay; he himself often brags about how many slang words and phrases he introduced into the hip-hop lexicon.

The other thing E-40 is known for is being one of hip-hop's all-time biggest workaholics. Since 1991, he has released ''43'' albums of varying types, a number of them being part of double or even triple albums. And that's not acknowledging his 200+ appearances as a guest artist or his business ventures.
