E-40 released his new single “PESOS” featuring Chef Boy on Friday, January 30, via Heavy On The Grind Entertainment/Virgin Music. The track, produced by DJAYCP, serves as the first release from the Bay Area rapper’s upcoming album Rule of Thumb: Rule 2, which is scheduled to drop soon.
The song showcases E-40’s signature lyrical dexterity and unique flow alongside Chef Boy’s infectious hook. A music video directed by Jae Synth accompanies the release, marking E-40’s first new music since summer 2025, when he dropped “Too Much” featuring JasonMartin and “Beating They Ass.”
Rule of Thumb: Rule 2 follows the November 2023 release of Rule of Thumb: Rule 1, which featured collaborations with NBA YoungBoy, Gucci Mane, Too $hort, Larry June, and LaRussell. E-40 closed out 2025 with a standout Tiny Desk performance that peaked at No. 4 on YouTube’s most-watched videos, spanning three decades of hits including “Tell Me When To Go” and “Choices.”
