Fri, July 29, E-40

E-40 may be well-known around the country—possibly even the world—but here in Northern California, he is legendary. Long before he was “ghost-riding the whip” with Lil Jon, he was making a name for himself and his rap group, the Click. Made up of his sister Suga-T, cousin B-Legit and brother D-Shot, the Click released its single, “Captain Save a Hoe” in 1994 and never looked back. After 20 years and a roller coaster of a career, E-40 continues to use what got him where he is today: booming bass beats, emphatic vocals and incomparable lyrics. Thizz faces optional. 1417 R Street, www.facebook.com/e40.
