blog: No Sleep for E-40 As He Crams For the Final Days Leading Up To “My Ghetto Report Card”

(Brooklyn, NY, March 10, 2006) With less than a week away from releasing his 12th album, E-40 is spending every day rushing from interview to promotional appearance to radio station to let everyone know he’s received straight A’s across the board in the school of rap with his album My Ghetto Report Card. The album, which features production from Lil Jon, Rick Rock, and his son, Droop-E of the Pharmaceuticals will be released next Tuesday, March 14th. In addition to 40 Water’s personal appearances, several prominent websites will host listening parties where fans can check out songs from My Ghetto Report Card before and on the release date. MySpace.com, which has played a significant role in promoting E-40, is the first website to hold a listening party. The MySpace listening party, which takes place today, March 10th, is hosted by none other than 40’s producer and good friend, Lil Jon. On the following Monday, AOL.com will host another listening party, followed by more listening parties on Rhapsody.com, MSN.com, and mp3.com on the day of release, Tuesday, March 14th. Several contests will also soon be in effect where websites will give away autographed goodies, E-40 beanies, key chains, and special pee-chee type folders. Fans can look to E-40’s message board to keep track of the different contests at http://e40.invisionzone.com/ E-40, the “Ambassador of the Bay,” is ready to share his good grades with the rest of the world. “I feel like I ain’t never did nothing foul in the game- I’ve always had straight A’s across the board so I said ‘Let me go ahead and name this ‘My Ghetto Report Card,’” says E-40. 40 Water is ready to unleash his patented slang and unforgettable flow to a new generation of fans with his debut album for Lil Jon’s BME Recordings, Sick Wid It/Reprise Records, My Ghetto Report card on March 14th.
