The mayor’s office issued a memo that said they want to recognize Vallejo native, Earl Stevens, for his exceptional contributions to arts, culture, business and philanthropy in Vallejo.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 25: E-40 performs onstage during the BET Awards 2023 at Microsoft Theater on June 25, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Mayor Robert McConnell said the recommendation was made based on the Vallejo native's outstanding achievement in arts, culture, business and philanthropy.
"Mr. Stevens has represented Vallejo and made significant philanthropic contributions to the city, including supporting local schools, providing bikes for the youth and donating meals to those in need," the Mayor's memo stated, "He also leveraged his voice for key social causes, including joining California Governor Gavin Newsom for a bill signing in 2022 that would protect hip-hop artists' creative expression through their lyrics.
A key to the city is a medieval tradition meant to confer trust and honor upon an outstanding citizen or friend of the community. A mile-long stretch of Magazine Street in South Vallejo is now "E-40 Way," commemorating the artist's formative years in the area.
