Eazy-E is often heralded as the Godfather of Gangsta Rap after his pioneering group N.W.A broke down barriers in previously uncharted territory. But his 1995 death at just 30 years old put a sudden and unexpected end to his legendary career.
As the story goes, Eazy-E was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in February 1995 with a “violent cough” and later diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. A month later, he was gone. Eazy-E’s daughter Ebie is one of many who have questions about his death, which she explores in the new four-part WE tv investigative series
The Mysterious Death of Eazy-E.
