Mr. N.W.A.

A rapper named Eric Lynn Wright, or better known as Eazy-E, was born Spetember 7th, 1963. Not only he was a rapper, he was a producer, and record executive from Compton, California. He was a Kelly Park Compton Crip during his teenage years, which was a gang. He sold drugs during his early teen years and then invested the money he made into a hip hop enterprise. . He was the creator of the Gangsta Rap subgenre, and was also the founder and member of the rap group N.W.A. Eazy-E's vocal style was marked by his youthful, high-pitched voice and his lyrics focusing on the elements of urban street life such as guns, drugs, relations between residents and the police, and sexual activity. He dropped out of hgih school in the 10th grade and thats when he started selling drugs to support his life. He used that money to establish the label company, Ruthless Records. After Ruthless Records signed Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, they formed the rap group NWA and also added DJ Yella and the Arabian Prince. The group eventually broke up and Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube went solo and made a good career out of that. Later in life Eazy-E was put into a hospital and found out that he had asthma and then found out he had AIDs and died 10 days later. His music still goes on to this day and people still listen to it, including me and my friends.
