The coronavirus pandemic is far from over, even if this side of the world is beginning to open back up. It is summer, after all, so it's hard to blame anyone for leaving their homes in anticipation of enjoying the season. Even still, health officials have urged for social distancing measures to still be put in place for the public's health and E-40's echoed this sentiment on his latest single.

Uncle Earl has returned a banger and a stern reminder to maintain a six-feet distance at all times. The rapper dropped off his new single, "Give Me 6" this weekend that serves as a PSA, though it's masterfully disguised as a hard-hitting anthem. The production has the quintessential hyphy bounce to it with the urgency of 90s West Coast rap that specifically emerged from Los Angeles. But "Give Me 6" also serves as a message to his haters to give him "an ounce of space."

Quotable Lyrics
His energy and his aura ain't connected
He jealous, his pockets are anorexic
When I was 21, my dream was 20 to 1
I accepted my failures and didn't blame anyone
