Friends of the musician say that the criminal image was created artificially in order to protect himself in the environment in which he grew up. In fact, Eric sold only soft drugs, and had nothing to do with robberies and murders.

After his cousin was killed in a gang showdown, the guy decides to change his life. At the age of 15, he first recorded rap in his parents' garage, wishing to conquer the musical Olympus. In 1987, Wright opens Ruthless Records with money raised from the sale of illegal substances.

The studio was developing, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Arabian Prince. Together with Eazy-E, the musicians formed the NWA group, which released the first album NWA and the Posse in November of the same year. Their hit LP Straight Outta Compton appeared the following year.

The first solo album in the rapper's discography was released in 1988. It included 12 tracks that marked the beginning of new genres, including gangsta rap. The album was well received by American listeners who bought over 2.5 million copies.

At this time, the first disagreements began within the team. For this reason, Ice Cube left the lineup immediately after the release of the second album. With the arrival of Jerry Heller, producer and director of Ruthless Records, into the management of the group, open conflicts began between the members. A particularly strong scandal occurred between Eazy-E and Dr. Dre.

Heller began to differentiate Eazy-E from the rest, which sparked a feud. Dr. Dre demanded to terminate the contract with Eric's studio, which was refused. During the conflict and proceedings, Wright received death threats against his family and released Dr. Dre, thus ending the NWA

The artist has many joint songs with famous performers - Tupac, Ice-T, Redd Foxx and many others. The influence of the musician on the hip-hop direction cannot be overemphasized. The documentary The Life and Times of Eric Wright tells about this in detail. This is not the only film that tells the biography of Eazy-E's controversial personality.

The artist's personal life was overgrown with speculation, even the exact number of his children is unknown. According to Heller, there are 11 from different women, but other sources report 7 children.
