Eric Wright a.k.a. Eazy-E was labelled “Godfather of Gangsta Rap” in a bid to immortalise his contribution to the art. He was a rapper, recording artiste, producer and N.W.A frontman.

He began to record songs aged 20, using his parents’ garage as his studio and in 1986, after making as much as $250,000 from dealing drugs, he established Ruthless Records with his friend, Jerry Heller.
With some other friends such as Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, he started N.W.A and released a compilation album in 1987.

The 1988 hugely successful N.W.A album, Straight Outta Compton is considered as being one of the greatest in history.
He is also known for song such as Boys-in-the-Hood and Eazy-Duz-It, both from the 1988 album of the same name.

He is survived by wife, Tomica Woods and 9 children from 7 women; in no particular order, they are sons, Eric, Derrek, Marquise, Baby (E3), Elijah, Dominick and David and daughters Erin, Daijah and Raven.

Worth To Know
