City of Compton Renames Street for World-Renowned West Coast Hip-Hop Entertainer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compton Street Renamed in Honor of N.W.A. Hip-Hop Artist Eazy-E (Eric Lynn Wright)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMPTON, CALIFORNIA\u2014On Wednesday, November 22nd<\/sup>, a formal renaming ceremony will take place for Auto Drive South Street, which will be renamed Eazy Street in honor of the late and renowned entertainer Eazy-E. Eazy-E, known for his contributions with the legendary music group N.W.A., has become a global brand and legacy. Even posthumously, he continues to contribute to civic engagement in the Hip-Hop culture, charity, and community aspirations for Compton residents and countless others around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eazy Street dedication marks a significant milestone in the City’s recognition of Hip-Hop culture, coinciding with its 50-year anniversary celebration. The event acknowledges the positive global impact and local contributions of Hip-Hop to Compton, representing an unprecedented formal recognition by the City for this influential cultural movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by the Compton Entertainment Chamber of Commerce (CECC), the ninety-minute program will feature formal remarks, with Alonzo “Lonzo” Williams, the Godfather of West Coast Hip-Hop, serving as the CECC President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lillie P. Darden, Mayor Pro Tem and Councilwoman for District 4 emphasized the importance of documenting Eazy-E’s legacy in the community as the lead sponsor for the Eazy Street sign installation. Compton Mayor Emma Sharif hopes that a greater respect for traffic safety will be instilled in visitors to Eazy Street, encouraging them to take it easy<\/em> when driving through the City of Compton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The street sign dedication will include presentations from the Mayor and Councilmembers of the City of Compton, the family of Hip-Hop artist Eazy-E, and contemporary music artists. The new Eazy Street covers an approximate distance of 511.90 feet (156.03 m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
