Eazy-Duz-It

Eazy-Duz-It is the debut studio album by legendary Compton rapper, Eazy-E. Released on September 13, 1988, through Priority Records and Eazy’s own Ruthless Records imprint, the solo album follows N.W.A’s debut, Straight Outta Compton, released on August 1988. The album was supported by three singles: “Eazy Duz It,” “We Want Eazy,” and “Eazy-er Said Than Dunn,” each of which charted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts in 1989. Along with the three singles, each track off of Eazy-Duz-It was solely produced by labelmates Dr. Dre and DJ Yella. Equal with the acclaimed production was the writing style of the album—ironically, Eazy didn’t write any of his own lyrics and enlisted groupmates MC Ren and Ice Cube as writers for the album. Jerry Heller, who had managed both Eazy and N.W.A, noted in his 2006 memoir that the lyrical content of the album was more humorous than hardcore: Both albums had essentially the same personnel. Eazy’s raps were a little bit more upfront on Eazy-Duz-It, and sexual humor outweighs the gangsta vibe. […] Eazy-Duz-It feels like a rolling party of an album, full of Eazy and Ren’s goofy humor and exuberance. Despite receiving little promotion from radio and television stations, the album still achieved double platinum status. Eazy-Duz-It would be the only solo album Eazy-E released during his lifetime before his death on March 26, 1995.
