E-40 To Have Vallejo City Street Named After Him

The Vallejo City Council will pay tribute to renowned rapper, wordsmith and businessman E-40 with a street named after him. According to KTVU, the council’s approval will see a mile-long section of Magazine Street in South Vallejo renamed “E-40 Way” to commemorate the artist’s early years in the city. The rapper shouted out this street in his 2015 song that bears the name of the block.

The ceremony to unveil “E-40 Way” is scheduled to take place later this year. The community will come together to honor 40 Fonzarelli’s significant contributions to the music industry and his impact on the local area.
