Music career

Stevens made his rap debut as E-40 in 1986 with Jones (performing as B-Legit), sister Suga-T, and brother D-Shot in the group Most Valuable Players. After impressing fellow students with a rap remix of the school song and a Grambling State talent show, Most Valuable Players released a single, "The King's Men". [11] [3] The group later became The Click and released the EP Let's Side in 1990.

In 1993 the Click had mainstream hit, "Captain Save a Hoe" (radio edit "Captain Save Them Thoe").
