RATING: 85/100
E-40 is a rapper i wanted to check out for a really long time.
Since i'm a sucker for old school west side hip hop, I had this E-40 itch i needed to scratch lately for some reason.
This EP or mixtape or whatever this is, is something i haven't listened to in a while, that trademark laid back gold school Cali production.
And 40's unique delivery that is so great thanks to his natural slang is a huge plus.
Neva Broke - 9/10

Very enjoyable album overall, fairly short too which aids the punch it packs production wise and lyrically. Nothing too crazy is happening on either front but E-40 keeps it simple and comes up with some good narratives while the beats are definitely of their time but still pretty funky and head-nodding all the same.
