To Whom It May Concern is a general letter to the hip-hop industry who E-40 feels is not being given his dues despite being a successful independent artist, in particular on the West Coast. It also serves to warn up and coming rappers to watch out for overnight popularity which may not last if they haven’t built a true fanbase like he has.
