==Background==
On October 1, 2012, [[E-40]] announced he would be releasing the ''The Block Brochure: Welcome To The Soil'' 4, 5 and 6 on March 26, 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last=Horowitz |first=Steven J. |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.21369/title.e-40-the-block-brochure-welcome-to-the-soil-4-5-6-release-date |title=E-40 "The Block Brochure: Welcome To The Soil 4, 5 & 6" Release Date |publisher=HipHop DX |date=2012-10-01 |accessdate=2013-10-29}}</ref> On June 12, 2013, the album covers were revealed for ''The Block Brochure: Welcome To The Soil'' 4, 5 and 6.<ref name="xxlmag1">{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2013/06/e-40-reveals-cover-art-for-the-block-brochure-welcome-to-the-soil-parts-4-5-6-2/ |title=E-40 Reveals Cover Art For 'The Block Brochure: Welcome To The Soil' Parts 4, 5 & 6' - XXL |publisher=Xxlmag.com |date=2013-06-12 |accessdate=2013-10-29}}</ref> In June 2013, E-40 explained why he was releasing three album's in one day, saying: <blockquote>"I’m a score and a nickel deep in the game! That’s 25 years with real studio albums on the shelf. If an artist can release two and three mixtapes a year for free, I can release two or three official studio albums a year for money. As an independent artist I do what I want, not what I can. I’m putting out three albums because I’ve got 3 decades of fans that I gotta satisfy. I’ve been through hella different eras of music and I survived successfully! It took William Shakespeare 20 years of experience to write Hamlet! I make Slaps and paint pictures with my raps and I’m in my prime with 25 years of experience. You ain’t gotta like me but you gotta respect me!"<ref name="xxlmag1"/></blockquote> On August 15, 2013, the music video was released for "All My Niggaz" featuring Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q.<ref>{{cite web|last=Homie |first=Big |url=http://rapradar.com/2013/08/15/new-video-e-40-ft-danny-brown-x-schoolboy-q-all-my-niggas/ |title=New Video: E-40 Ft.

In a December 2013, interview with [[HipHopDX]] [[E-40]] spoke about the direction he went on the album, saying: "I just wanna keep it right in the pocket of what they been listening to with a new school twist, but keep the old school twist too. You feel me? So I want to make sure it's the right recipe. The right... When you dip your finger in that sauce, the seasoning is perfect."<ref name="hiphopdx1">{{cite web|last=Aguilar |first=Andrea |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/interviews/id.2236/title.e-40-considers-releasing-his-book-of-slang-as-a-software-app |title=E-40 Considers Releasing His "Book Of Slang" As A Software App |publisher=HipHop DX |date= |accessdate=2013-12-10}}</ref> In the same interview he spoke about how he decided who he would collaborate with on the album, saying: "You know, a lot of times, we get the beats early. The beat is always first. Us as artists, we like, "This the perfect beat. Do you know who would sound good on here? Big K.R.I.T. and Z-Ro." And I rock with 'em. I got love for 'em, so let's see if they can get on this with me, and that's how it all unfolds."<ref name="hiphopdx1"/>
