DJ Yella discussed why Eazy-E’s solo album was released before the N.W.A's album, "Straight Outta Compton." DJ Yella explained that the initial release was not a planned group project but rather a collection of tracks Dre had recorded with various artists, including Eazy-E. This compilation, known as "N.W.A and the Posse," was released while the industry awaited N.W.A's complete album. DJ Yella noted that "Eazy-Duz-It," Eazy-E's solo project, debuted first, paving the way for N.W.A's groundbreaking album. The conversation also touched on N.W.A.'s Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which felt significant to DJ Yella, alongside their recognition with Apple Music's Top 100 albums for "Straight Outta Compton."
