Eazy J has taken hip-hop to new heights after the release of his latest album, Eamatic, which went platinum in record time. We caught up with Eazy J and asked him how he got to where he is today- "Being a kid in the city of Compton, life was hard. I have had a lot of friends who died and ended up in jail due to the evils of gang life, I knew I needed to escape. I always liked English in school, particularly poetry, and when I got entered into a rap battle by my friends that is where the story began. I was exposed to hip-hop, living where we were, so I always loved it. I won and got asked my rap name and a sample of my mixtape, I responded that I didnt have neither, they asked me how I won and I just said it was easy, and that  was my first ever rap name 'Easy'. I made the mixtape, entered more rap tournaments and then got scouted by a representative from Sock Nation and the rest was history, I left Compton now I live in LA, and I have never looked back." 

"After I dropped this album I have no choice but to live-up to my potential and become the best artist I can possibly be." Eazy went on to saying how he is very careful about his approach to the hip-hop game, he said: "I have seen many artists not make it or be torn apart financially by agents who take all of their money, not me. I'm here to stay. When I die I want to be remembered like my idols are and I want to be remembered not as a rapper, but as an artist or a revolutionary. I want them to think, Leonardo Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and then there was Eazy J, the young kind from Compton, USA." Eazy J definitely has a lot going for him right this moment and we can see a lot of potential in this young man, what we have seen already there is definite talent, but will he live up to his potential? Only time will tell.
