LOS ANGELES (AP) — E-40 created his own lane with an unorthodox rap flow that’s worked for more than 30 years. There’s no slowing down for the 56-year-old hip-hop legend who’s release his new album “Rule of Thumb: Rule 1” on Friday. The new album — which features NBA Youngboy, Too Short, Larry June, Gucci Mane and B.G. — is the first installment of a “Rule of Thumb” album series. He plans to release the sequel album early next year. In a recent interview, E-40 spoke about being an underrated legend and his new cookbook with Snoop Dogg called “Goon With The Spoon,” which released earlier this week.
