VALLEJO (KRON) — E-40 was caught giving back Tuesday morning at his alma mater in Vallejo.

The award-winning rapper spent the morning donating $25,000 worth of backpacks and school supplies to the students of Franklin Middle School.

Inside the backpacks, students found a binder signed by the platinum recording artist along with a variety of school supplies.

Each student will be able to choose from the 700 Jansport backpacks that come with a lifetime warranty.

KRON4’s Stanley Roberts joined E40 at the middle school and will bring us updates throughout the day.
