Arranger: J.R. Rotem . Two years after scoring platinum success with MY GHETTO REPORT CARD, E-40 returns with one of his most eclectic LPs to date. On THE BALL STREET JOURNAL, the rap vet and foremost emissary of the Bay Area sound lays his unmistakable flow over beats by Lil Jon, Jonathan Rothem, Akon, T-Pain, Drumma Boy, and DJ Nasty, among others. Opening the record by rightly proclaiming himself "The Ambassador," 40 Water goes on to rip a characteristically crunked-up Lil Jon beat alongside Shawty Lo on "Break Ya Ankles" and take a Cali-centric turn on the West Coast gangsta anthem "Pain No More," featuring Snoop and the Game, before really letting his bombastic flow loose over the swelling drums of "Tell It Like It Is." E-40 also passes the mic to guest MCs Turf Talk, R. City, Bun B, Gucci Mane,B-Legit, Too $hort, and Ice T.
