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.

Viewers can also learn about the Hyphy movement through a "Hyphy movement" special on the DVD, which features special appearances by Federation and B-Legit, among others.

Man, 40 STILL get grief from people and he gets a gold plaque. Look, the days of multi plat albums is almost gone.With the internet and the real lack of promotion by most record labels, it is difficult. E 40 didn't have to do a album to prove shit. The man is already a legend, but he took that ambassador to the bay and helped make it global. Hey you got to go gold 1st before you go plat! Ice Cube is next, so congrats to 40. west west yall.

Nah, 40 aint never went triple plat so that is not realistic. I did not think it would go gold but it did. Hell that is a accomplishment now. DMX aint even gold. Hyphy or not.

even the niggaz hate'n wouldn't be doing so if it wasn't for 40.
