E-40’s Tiny Desk Concert Is Here

E-40 recently stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk for an 11-song set celebrating 37 years in the game — and the Bay Area hip-hop icon brought the heat.

The NPR concert simultaneously marks the 30-year anniversary of E-40’s 1995 album In a Major Way, an album almost unfathomably stacked with regional talent. So it’s fitting that for his Tiny Desk set, 40 Water brought along a live band of today’s Bay Area heavy hitters, led by Kev Choice and including Howard Wiley, Dame Drummer, Martin Luther, Silk-E and others.

Smooth as ever and tightly rehearsed, watch E-40 and his live band in action above.
