Eric Wright, Jr., better known by his stage name Lil Eazy-E, (born April 23, 1984) is an American rapper and the eldest son of Eazy-E. Wright Jr. was born and raised in Compton, California, in the same house his father grew up in. He was 10 years old when his father died. He first appeared on the hip hop scene with Daz Dillinger, during which time an independent album release was expected. However, no contract was actually signed, and this led to an eventual feud between the two rappers. Lil Eazy-E left Virgin Records for a deal with Blackground and Universal Motown Records Group in 2006. He created the recording label Kings of L.A. Entertainment and released the mixtape Compton For Life. He has performed duets with rappers such as Timbaland and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. His album The Prince of Compton, has no release date as of 2009. The release date of September 16 was scrapped, due to poor response to the single, "What We're Claiming". Lil Eazy-E was involved in a feud with rapper The Game, because he thought The Game was overusing his father's name. He disses The Game on the track Coming From Compton on his mixtape Rebirth of Gangsta Rap. The Game shot back on the song 120 Bars. Lil Eazy-E retaliated on the song "They Know Me", in which he claims nobody even knows The Game the way they know Lil Eazy-E. Later the Game said he and Lil Eazy-E had ended their feud.
