E-40 Strikes Gold

Bay area rapper E-40 is celebrating the success of his latest album My Ghetto Report Card, which was certified gold by the RIAA this week.
Fueled by the Keak Da Sneak-featured "Tell Me When 2 Go," and the current single "U And Dat," featuring
T-Pain and Kandi Girl, the album's good fortune will lead to bigger things, according to the lyricist.
"It feels good," E-40 told AllHipHop.com. "I got my second wind [and] it's the beginning of a new beginning."
Executive produced by Lil' Jon, My Ghetto Report Card debuted at number one on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop charts and number three on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
In addition to Lil' Jon, the Reprise/BME/Sick Wid It Records release features production by Rick Rock, E-40's son Droop-e of the Pharmasuticles, Bosko, and Studio Tone, as well as guest appearances from
Mike Jones, T. Pain, Keak Da Sneak, Turf Talk, Juelz Santana, B-Legit, The Federation, 8Ball, and UGK.
The video for "U And Dat," is currently in heavy rotation at BET,
MTV and Fuse.
Fans can look for more of E-40 with the release of his
new DVD, E-40 & The Hype of Hyphy.
The disc, which hit stores Tuesday (Aug. 29) includes the videos "U And Dat" and "Tell Me When To Go" as well as a behind the scenes look at the making of the videos.
