Lil' Eazy E Inks Deal With Blackround, Plans To Rep Compton On New Album
By Mike Winslow and Jamile Karout

Eric "Lil' Eazy-E" Wright, son of the late Eazy-E, hopes to be the next rap delegate of Compton, Calif., and now he's well on his way.
The 22-year-old rapper recently inked a deal with Blackground/Universal and is currently preparing his debut album Prince of Compton, due early next year.
Lil' Eazy-E, who was 10-years-old when his father died, said the disc will boast collaborations with Timbaland, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, among others.
He hopes the new album will properly represent his native Compton, which is credited with bringing gangsta rap to the mainstream and is also the birthplace of NWA, MC Eiht, and the Game, whose sophomore effort The Doctor's Advocate hits shelves on Nov. 14.
"We gonna keep it real," Lil' Eazy-E told AllHipHop.com of his objective to represent Compton. "[The Game] has been disloyal and he hasn't represented the city the right way. So he does him and I do me."
Blackground Records, which was launched in 1993, is owned by entertainment attorney Barry Hankerson and his son Jomo.
The label is also home to Timbaland & Magoo, Toni Braxton, and the late Aaliyah.

not a real big fan of eazy E
-
at first when i heard of lil eazy, i thought he was just gonna be another son of a rapper.
But when i heard one song from him i thought it was good. Then i heard another and it was another real good song. And then i heard that "letter to my homeboys" song and that made me a Lil Eazy fan.
All the songs ive heard from him have been real tight so i think he has a chance to be the next big thing in rap music.

Timbos a great producer but him all over a west coast artists album won't work too good IMO
-
dope hope he drops an album soon, you can definitly expect some dope production.

Yeah Lil Eazy is tight. . .Lookin forward to hearin his album. . .

Is this what is has come down to, he can't just sound and look like Eazy to get a buzz. He has to talk about how Game was disloyal to Compton and that he has to 'set things straight' corny.

I would love a NWA reunion, with The DOC helping to ghost write...
