Today, Nef the Pharaoh decided to pull a Jhene and show E-40 major love by getting a tattoo of his face on his leg.  

E-40 is the king of the Bay and has done so much for the Bay’s sound. While Nef is still a fairly new rapper in the game who understands the importance of the people who came before him.

The level of respect is so high between this two. Both rappers are from Vallejo so it’s no surprise that they have such a connection.

The tattoo is yet to be finished but Nef shared the progress so far on his IG along with a heartfelt message about his mentor. Check out the tatt and caption below.

I didn’t wanna wait till my OG was dead & gone to show him I appreciate everything he’s done 4 me & mines you’ve opened doors and allowed me to bring my day ones right threw them muthafuckas �… & w/ that bein said…I’m @sickwiditrecords till I’m 6 feet under, love you @e40 (s/o @youngblood_wst for the new leg tat, we still ain’t finished tho)
