Synonymous with Bay Area rap, E-40 garnered a regional following, and eventually a national one, with his flamboyant raps, while his entrepreneurial spirit did much to cultivate a flourishing rap scene in communities such as Oakland and his native Vallejo. E-40 spent years releasing music independently and was among the first Bay Area rappers to sign to a major label. Throughout the '90s and into the following decade, he released a series of widely distributed albums on Jive, and though only 1995's In a Major Way went platinum, all of them were well received regionally and proved highly influential, not only on the West Coast but also in the South. Concurrently, the Bay Area rap scene, invigorated by the hyphy sound it cultivated, grew in popularity. It had no bigger champion than E-40, whose significance can't be measured simply by hits and sales. His long list of guest features is representative of the esteem in which he is held, as practically every regional act has sought his presence. Born Earl Stevens on November 15, 1967, in Vallejo, California, E-40 made his rap debut in 1990 on Let's Side, an EP by the Click.

The EP was co-produced by Mike Mosley and Al Eaton. In 1993, E-40 made his solo album debut, Federal, a nine-track LP/14-track CD produced by Studio Ton and released by Sick Wid' It in association with SMG (Solar Music Group), a regional distributor. Then in 1994, on the strength of the regionally popular independently released single 'Captain Save a Hoe' (aka 'Captain Save 'Em Thoe') from the six-track Mail Man EP, E-40 signed a recording contract with Jive Records, the home of Bay Area pioneer Too Short since 1987. Jive re-released 'Captain Save a Hoe' on 12' and also re-released the Mail Man EP, adding two bonus tracks; all the songs on the EP, including 'Captain Save a Hoe,' were produced by Studio Ton, except one of the bonus tracks, 'Ballin' Out of Control,' which was produced by Mike Mosley and Sam Bostic. In 1995 alone, Jive released four E-40 albums: a reissue of the Click's Down and Dirty; Game Related, a newly recorded album by the Click; a reconfigured version of Federal, and In a Major Way, a newly recorded album produced by Studio Ton, Mike Mosley/Sam Bostic, and Funk Daddy. Of these numerous releases, In a Major Way proved E-40's breakthrough. Featuring a collaboration with fellow Bay Area hardcore rappers 2Pac, Mac Mall, and Spice 1, 'Dusted 'n' Disgusted,' in addition to several songs that would also become fan favorites, the album sold over one million copies and took the rapper's career to a new level of respectability.
