Bay area rapper E-40 is celebrating the success of his latest album My Ghetto Report Card, which was certified gold by the RIAA this week.

Fueled by the Keak Da Sneak-featured "Tell Me When 2 Go," and the current single "U And Dat," featuring T-Pain and Kandi Girl, the album's good fortune will lead to bigger things, according to the lyricist.

"It feels good," E-40 told AllHipHop.com. "I got my second wind [and] it's the beginning of a new beginning."

Executive produced by Lil' Jon, My Ghetto Report Card debuted at number one on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop charts and number three on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

In addition to Lil' Jon, the Reprise/BME/Sick Wid It Records release features production by Rick Rock, E-40's son Droop-e of the Pharmasuticles, Bosko, and Studio Tone, as well as guest appearances from Mike Jones, T. Pain, Keak Da Sneak, Turf Talk, Juelz Santana, B-Legit, The Federation, 8Ball, and UGK.

The video for "U And Dat," is currently in heavy rotation at BET, MTV and Fuse.

Fans can look for more of E-40 with the release of his new DVD, E-40 & The Hype of Hyphy.

The disc, which hit stores Tuesday (Aug. 29) includes the videos "U And Dat" and "Tell Me When To Go" as well as a behind the scenes look at the making of the videos.

Viewers can also learn about the Hyphy movement through a "Hyphy movement" special on the DVD, which features special appearances by Federation and B-Legit, among others.

It's all because of T-Pain I think.. That song is pretty catchy and people, some people like T-Pain's distorted voice and shit. I know all the girls love "I'm in love with a Stripper" and all that..

yea true. i think that song helped it. if he got one more good song he might be able to sell around 700 total i think. hes only at like 375 officially just he shipped gold. but that song with t-pain helped since hes still pushin 10-15k a week months after that shit came out.
