Droop-E "Im Loaded" Feat. E-40

At the tail end of September, E-40’s son, 22-year-old rapper/producer Earl “Droop-E” Stevens, Jr, dropped a short mixtape titled BLVCK Diamond Life. Available on his website, droop-e.com, the tape featured only eight songs but they went hard. Straying from his typical hard-hitting, hyphy sound, the Yay area beatsmith used music icon Sade’s signature soulful, sexy sounds to create a mellowed out backdrop for heads to nod to, while also paying homage to the beloved multi-Grammy award winning singer.
