E-40 is fresh off of a memorable "Tiny Desk" performance and on "Too Much," he's spitting nothing but facts alongside JasonMartin.

Two of California's longest tenured rappers, E-40 and JasonMartin, are providing wise advice for others. They are doing so on their latest collaboration "Too Much," which is out as of this weekend.

The track belongs to E-40 and it's one of many joint efforts. But this one won't get lost in the shuffle thanks to aforementioned message and theme. "It's too much real sh*t going on / Quit worrying about the fake, n****, yeah, yeah," JasonMartin raps on the sticky chorus.

E-40's unmistakable flow is on full display here as well as he drops truth after truth. "Don't worry about the fake 'cause the hate gon' come with the platе / The peons, they hеlla late, they late like holiday freight / And b*tch, I'm one of the greats and that ain't up for debate (Yep)."

Taking this track up a notch is the addicting instrumental. It's laced with West Coast bounce and a sticky piano melody. Overall, E-40 and JasonMartin's "Too Much" is a standout and deserves a spin ASAP.

For the Bay Area native, this single arrives following a multi-decade spanning NPR Tiny Desk performance. He was brought on to kick off this year's Black Music Month and he delivered for them in every way.

E-40 & JasonMartin "Too Much"

Quotable Lyrics:

As long as you don't try to line me up and stab me in the back (Uh)
As long as you don't try to get me chipped and get a player capped (Yep)
Misery love company, but company don't like misery
Now are we getting along? We better be, we family
I finally figured it out, I think I finally figured it out
Stop making excuses for ninjas and giving 'em the benefit of the doubt

If you have ever played a fourfive song, you already know there is always a chance he might push your speakers to the edge. On the new track titled "PP," that idea stays true because the artist delivers another intense and explosive moment. Whether this underground sound is something that personally clicks with you is something only you can decide. It is not a style that everyone wants to hear every single day. Even so, artists like fourfive continue to prove that this approach can eventually break into the mainstream. It may take some time, but this is the way music seems to be moving right now.
