Eric Lynn Wright (September 7, 1963 – March 26, 1995) aka Eazy-E was an American rapper, hip hop producer, and record executive from Compton, California who initially rose to fame as a member of the group N.W.A. Eazy-E's style is gangsta rap, marked by his relatively high-pitched voice and his lyrics focusing on guns, drugs, the police, pimps, prostitutes, violent acts against those who disrespected him, and abundant sexual activity.
Life and music
Eazy-E was born in Compton, California to Richard Wright and Kathie Lolis. As a teen, he was bussed from South Central Los Angeles to Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California. During those years, he was a Kelly Park Compton Crip, also known as CPT K-Rhider Crips, from Southeast Compton and began selling drugs such as Cocaine, Marijuana, Opium, PCP, mushrooms, LSD, ecstacy and heroin.
Following this period, his grandmother died and he used some of his inheritance, along with the drug money, to start Ruthless Records with his business partner and manager Jerry Heller. He recruited Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, DJ Yella, The D.O.C. and Arabian Prince to form the group N.W.A.: the first act signed to the label.
