Ийзи-И Eazy-E (Ийзи-И) е псевдоним на легендата в гангстерския рап Ерик Лин Райт (на английски Eric Lynn Wright), феновете на хип хопа го наричат "Кръстника на рапа". Роден е на 7 септември 1963 г. в Комптън, Калифорния, умира от СПИН на 26 март 1995 също в Комптън. От ранна тийнейджърска възраст до смъртта си Eazy-E е член на криминалната улична банда Кели Парк Комптън(сет на Crips). На музикалната сцена добива слава като член на групата N.W.A, заедно с Доктор Дре, Айс Кюб, MC Ren, DJ Yella, The D.O.C. и Arabian Prince. Групата, начело с Eazy-E, е считана за един от основателите на гангста рап стила в хип хопа, наред с Айс-Ти и Тупак. Отличителна черта на Eazy-Е е ноговият младежки, писклив глас, а текстовете му са наситени с елементи от живота на улицата - оръжия, дрога, отношенията между цивилни и полиция и секс, излизащ извън границите на приетото. Eazy-Е напуска училище когато е в десети клас, но по-късно получава диплома за средно образование. По негови думи започва да продава дрога още като ученик. Заработените пари използва за да основе звукозаписната компания Ruthless Records. През 1986 Eazy-Е сформира групата N.W.A. През 1987 г. е издадена компилацията N.W.A. And The Posse, която събира песни на членовете на групата и такива на близки до нея изпълнители. През 1988 г. излиза първият истински албум на N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton, който става тотален хит в ъндърграунд сцената и се продава над три милиона пъти. Месец по-късно на пазара излиза и дебютният солов албум на Eazy-Е - Eazy-Duz-It - който също се радва на популярност и от него биват продадени над два милиона копия. С времето отношенията в групата се изострят и започват противоречия, свързани предимно с разпределението на печалбите. Айс Кюб обвинява Eazy-E и мениджъра на групата и съосновател на Ruthless Records Джери Хелер в кражба на голяма част от приходите и напуска групата, започвайки солова кариера. Впоследствие Доктор Дре осъзнава, че твърденията на Айс Кюб са били основателни и стига се до конфликт, който води до разпадането на N.W.A. Между Eazy-E и Доктор Дре започва вражда. След разпадането на N.W.A. Eazy-E продължава соловата си кариера, издавайки три албума до смъртта си през 1995 г. През март същата година влиза в болница със съмнение за бронхит, но след обстойни изследвания се оказва, че е болен от СПИН. Eazy-E многократно заявява, че не е хомосексуален и това не е причината за заразяването му. Болестта е в напреднал стадий и състоянието му бързо се влошава. На 26 март, десет дена след като постъпва в болницата, Eazy-E умира. Преди това успява да се помири с Айс Кюб и Доктор Дре. Eazy-E има общо седем деца от шест различни майки. Най-големият му син също е рапър и е известен като Lil Eazy-E (Малкия Eazy-E). - The N.W.A. Legacy, Vol. 2 (2002) [ar:إيزي إي]]

DJ Yella Antoine Carraby (born December 11, 1961), better known by his stage name DJ Yella, is an American DJ, rapper, record producer and film director from Los Angeles, California.[1][2][3] DJ Yella began his career as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru along with Dr. Dre.[4] He later joined the pioneering gangsta rap group N.W. A (originally composed of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Arabian Prince and Eazy-E) and became the least vocal but longest-lasting member of the group. His first and only studio album One Mo Nigga ta Go was released in 1996 through Street Life Records and was dedicated to Eazy-E. After the release of the album he left the music industry to direct pornographic films until 2011, when he started working on a new album called West Coastin.[1] In 2016, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A.[5][6] Early life[edit] Antoine Carraby was born in Compton, California, on December 11, 1961 and raised in Los Angeles.[7][8] He was passionate about music from a young age. He grew up listening to funk music and learned to play the drums. As a teenager, he performed at various clubs of Los Angeles by the name of Yella which was inspired by Tom Tom Club's Mr. Yellow. After watching Run-D.M.C. perform in California for the first time, he and Dre both were amazed to see them on-stage with nothing more than a DJ scratching. They attempted to make a few records themselves in the nightclub Eve After Dark, owned by Alonzo Williams. Career[edit] Yella began DJ'ing as a teenager in a local club called Eve After Dark. At the club he met aspiring DJ Dr. J, later to become member Dr. Dre of N.W.A. Eve After Dark had a back room with a small four-track studio. In this studio, Yella and Dre recorded several demos. In their first recording session, they recorded a song entitled "Surgery". Influenced by Grandmaster Flash, Yella and Dre formed the World Class Wreckin' Cru in the early '80s, which released its debut album under the Kru-Cut label in 1985. The group would become stars of the electro-hop scene that dominated early-mid 1980s West Coast hip hop. "Surgery", which was officially released after being recorded prior to the group's official formation. The record would become the group's first hit, selling 50,000 copies within the Compton area. DJ Yella and Dr. Dre also performed mixes for local radio station KDAY, boosting ratings for its afternoon rush-hour show The Traffic Jam. Along with Dre, Yella helped produce Eazy-E's debut album Eazy-Duz-It and the three N.W. A albums, with the first one being a compilation album translating into millions of sales. Along with Dr. Dre and Arabian Prince, Yella co-produced J.J. Fad's gold certified debut (Super Sonic) and also Michel'le's (self-titled) album and contributed to The D.O.C.'s 1989 album No One Can Do It Better (also produced by Dre). Jerry Heller, in his 2006 memoir Ruthless, witnessed Dre and Yella's work together, writing that the two had an almost eerie understanding, as they crafted high quality beats and productions with almost no words or full sentences needing to be spoken.[9] Yella remained close to Eazy and stayed on production duties at Ruthless Records after the acrimonious breakup of N.W.A. He produced J.J. Fad's second album Not Just a Fad (1990), Yomo & Maulkie's album Are U Xperienced? (1991), two tracks from Eazy-E's It's On ( Dr. Dre) 187um Killa (1993), the gold-selling hit single "Foe tha Love of $" from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Creepin on ah Come Up EP, Menajahtwa's album Cha-licious, and tracks from H.W.A.'s Az Much Ass Azz U Want E.P. (all three from 1994). He also produced Eazy's final album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, released about a year after his death in 1995 because of AIDS.[10][11][12][13] Yella released his 1996 debut solo album One Mo Nigga ta Go on Street Life Records as a tribute to Eazy-E, featuring members of the Ruthless "family tree" Kokane, B.G. Knocc Out, and Dresta, rhyming over his productions.[14] The album peaked at number 82 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and at number 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States.[15][16] After this record he retired from music to embark on a 12-year career directing and producing pornographic films.[17] Yella says he produced more than 300 adult films.[18][19] In November 2011 Yella began working on a new album, entitled West Coastin', which was scheduled for release in the summer of 2012.[20] This album remains unreleased as of 2022. Yella was played by Neil Brown Jr.[21] in the 2015 N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton.[22][23][24] He is portrayed as very interested in sex and women, and also as less aggressive than the other members and unwilling to engage in conflict with Ice Cube. In April 2016, Yella reunited with the former members of N.W. A at Coachella.[25][26] Discography[edit] Studio albums[edit] Collaboration albums[edit] with World Class Wreckin' Cru - World Class (1985) - Rapped in Romance (1986) with N.W.A. - N.W.A. and the Posse (1987) - Straight Outta Compton (1988) - 100 Miles and Runnin' (1990) - Niggaz4Life (1991) Selected works[edit] Filmography[edit] References[edit] - ^ a b "What Happened To DJ Yella, N.W.A.
