'E-40 has used his success as a recording artist to create an entrepreneurial empire,' Rick Gallot, the university's president, said last week. 'We are so grateful that he is giving back to his alma mater in such a substantial way.'
Earl Stevens, the multihyphenate Bay Area star better known as E-40, donated $100,000 to Grambling State University in Louisiana last week.
Fittingly, the 55-year-old's donation was directed to the school's music department, its famous marching band and"upkeep of the newly installed recording studio" named for him. Stevens has appeared in the Billboard 200 charts ranking the most popular albums and EPs more times than any other solo rap artist, but he has also been increasingly prolific outside of the studio.
"E-40 has used his success as a recording artist to create an entrepreneurial empire," Rick Gallot, the university's president, said last week."We are so grateful that he is giving back to his alma mater in such a substantial way. Our current and future students will benefit from his investment in our state-of-the-art student recording studio."
