E-40
has been averaging two albums a year with his Revenue Retrievin " series, and
it looks like he "s not planning on stopping. The Bay Area veteran is planning
on releasing three full length LPs next year titled The Block Brochure: Welcome
to the Soil.
E-40 broke down the release schedule for the trio of LPs, saying that all
three will drop the same day on February 28, with a special edition three
pack following later.
“I putting out The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 1, The Block
Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 2 and The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil
3,” he explained. “They’re all coming out the same day [February
28]. You gonna see them in stores all sitting side by side. And they’re
on iTunes...we’re also gonna have a special edition where you can get
all three in one bundle. A three-pack for a nice price. But if you only have
enough gudda for one, get one. Then come back in a couple of weeks when you
get your check and get another one. I’m milking the system. I have my
own label, ain’t no liaison, no middle man. I have my own distribution.
I’m not signed as no artist. I got a P&D deal which is a lovely
situation.”
The Ambassador of the Bay also explained why he "s been releasing so many
albums at the same time over the past two years. He explained that while many
artists choose to pour their time and effort into mixtapes, he "d prefer go
for broke and drop multiple official projects.
"Rappin’ is my passion,” he added. “Then there’s
gonna always be people who wanna hear me. It’s like chitterlings, a
lot of people don’t like chittterlings, but a lot of people love em.
I’m an acquired taste. Some folks putting out three, four or five mixtapes
a year. This is no dis to mixtapes. I like mixtapes. But you have some people
putting out mixtapes when it really is their album, but [calling it a mixtape]
is just a security blanket in case the project don’t perform well. Like
‘Oh, that’s just my mixtape.’ With me, I’m putting
out albums. Ain "t no need of beating around the focal point. With me, when
you spit the shit people wanna hear, it’s gonna spread like the flu
and become contagious like a yawn.”
The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil series is set to feature Brotha Lynch
Hung, YG, T-Pain, Raheem DeVaughn, 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle and
the Hieroglyphics.
