E-40, a Vallejo rapper, record company owner and co-founder of the Click, will be trying to help develop some future competitors on April 27.
He’ll be raising funds for student scholarships when he performs at San Joaquin Delta College’s Atherton Auditorium. It’s an 18-and-older show.
The proceeds benefit Dollar for Degrees, a program sponsored by the Associated Students of Delta College. It’s the group’s first benefit concert.
Earl Stevens, 49, became known as E-40 when The Click released a 1986 EP on Sick Wid It Records, an independent label Stavens started.
He graduated from Vallejo’s Hogan High School on June 19, 1985.
Stevens, also an actor, business entrepreneur and investor, has released 31 recordings since 1991 (“Mr. Flamboyant”) and appeared in seven movies. “The D-Boy Diary, in two volumes” from 2016, are his most recent rap releases.
He’s also been associated, and recorded, with Mac Dre, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, G-Eazy and Tech N9ine, among others.
Tickets, priced at $25 (advance) and $30 (at the door) not including surcharges, are available at Delta’s box office (11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays); and at 6 p.m. April 27.
