Part 4: Lil Eazzyy on Being Overlooked By Chicago's Music Scene Because He Avoids Beef & Gangs
Part 1: Lil Eazzyy on Going to High School w/ Juice WRLD, Getting Introduced to Rap Through Drill
--------
Lil Eazzyy recently discussed his split from Atlantic Records. He detailed creative differences as the primary reason for the departure, despite his relocation to Atlanta in 2023 to foster relationships and produce over 100 songs. Eazzyy claimed he and the label struggled to agree on the music direction, which ultimately led to him being dropped in January 2024. Opting for independence, Eazzyy is focusing on rebuilding his brand, aiming to emulate his initial rise to fame by managing his marketing and releases personally.
The conversation also touched on Lil Durk's legal troubles, where he's facing potential life imprisonment without bail on murder charges. While acknowledging Durk's influence on the Chicago rap scene, Eazzyy expressed a somewhat self-interested view, seeing Durk's situation as an opportunity for his own ascension. He criticized the violent and sensationalist expectations some fans have of artists, which often lead to dangerous and career-jeopardizing choices in pursuit of fame and notoriety.
