2006 was one of the most successful years for E-40. The ambassador of the Bay Area was able to cross over to a new audience with his album "My Ghetto Report Card", even though he’s not a rapper with traditional style that everyone can get into. Lil’ Jon, the album’s executive producer (who also laced the majority of the beats), gave 40 an opportunity to reach new horizons. E-40 accomplished that while he still kept his longtime fanbase happy. The album’s sound was also influenced by other talented producers such as Droop-E, Rick Rock, and Bosko.
The latter of the three producers recently revealed to Dubcnn that he linked up with Fonzarelli again for 40’s next album, which is scheduled to come out in 2007. Bosko also told us that E-40 already completed a few songs for the new album, one of them featuring Kanye West. That’s right, 40 and Kanye connected for another round, after they hooked up for the Remix of "Tell Me When To Go" earlier this year. The song is called "Get Deleted" and it was produced by Kanye himself with Bosko singing on the hook.
Many people don’t know, but Bosko was actually the person who introduced Kanye to E-40 after they collaborated on Kanye West’s "Workout Plan". Kanye was already a big E-40 fan, and it was a coincidence that E-40 happened to be in town at that time.
Doesn’t sound bad at all to end the old year right. Be on the lookout for the full interview with Bosko coming in a couple of days.
