E-40 - Catch a Fade
Artist: E-40
Featuring: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: Droop-E
Album: The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 3
Label: Sick Wid It/Heavy On The Grind/EMI
I’ll keep it one-hundred: when I first read the title of E-40‘s latest feature, I thought that “Catch[ing] a Fade” was something you’d do at your local barbershop. Even if you’re as rusty on your West Coast street vernacular as I am, though, the record’s intimidating tone should make it abundantly clear that the Bay Area mainstay and his colleagues aren’t inviting the competition out for a haircut (not a literal one, anyway). A newly-leaked standout off entry number three in his newly-released album trilogy, this cut finds Droop-E (40’s son) serving up a minimal, percussion-driven beat as Earl Stevens showcases his regional slanguistics. Los Angeles fast-riser (and freestyle series alum) Kendrick Lamar guests on the front, delivering an opener packed with with deadpan, internally-rhymed tough-talk, and Droop steps out from behind the boards to lace the middle with some deadpan braggadocio of his own. Feeling E-40’s latest street banger? Much, much more is just a few mouse-clicks away. The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 3 dropped, along with Block Brochures one and two, today via Heavy on the Grind Ent./EMI.

Dropping three full albums on the same day is insane, but you know what is not insane?! Grabbing Kendrick to join you on a sick hyphy beat by Droop-E.

E-40 is a legend out here, and I love that he is collabing with one of my favorite artists, Kendrick Lamar.

I'm don't like the beat by Droop-E on this one and the chorus is kinda annoying. Decent lyrics by all, but it just sounds weird at times.

i'm not really a fan of Kendrick Lamar, but he did a good job with this, and I thought the beat was dope too, but why were dancers in the ring with boxers?
