DJ Yella is not against using AI technology being used to bring the late Eazy-E‘s voice to new N.W.A. music — and in fact, something may already be in the works.

TMZ caught up with Yella at Eazy’s street sign unveiling last week, where the city of Compton officially changed the name of Auto Drive South’s 100 block to Eazy Street. When discussing the possibility of new music, he echoed Lil Eazy-E’s conversation from the same event that artificial intelligence may help bring more N.W.A. tracks to the masses.

“Is there anymore music left from N.W.A? I don’t think so, because I had all the masters,” he began. “I was the last person with Eazy’s last album… All the stuff I had in my hand. I didn’t think nothing about it. We had a bunch of instrumentals, but nothing with tracks, with words.”

When asked about the prospect of using AI, he replied: “I think somebody’s working on something like that with Eazy’s voice. I haven’t heard it yet, but they said it worked great. I’m like, ‘I gotta hear it to believe it.’”

He went on: “I don’t think you gonna recreate it, you just gonna duplicate. That’s all it is. You ain’t recreating the original. But it’s different, I guess it’s the new thing. You know, ‘technology.’ It would be different, keep that name going. Keep that Compton thing going. Yeah, it’s cool to me.”

When talking to TMZ at the same event, Lil Eazy (real name Eric Darnell Wright Jr.) revealed that AI could be instrumental in helping with the release of the music.

“We’ll see,” he said when asked about the prospect. “We’ll see how that’s coming, you know what I mean? There is, y’know, some hidden tracks out there, so we’ll see how that goes.”

Earlier this year, Rock The Bells caught up with Arnold “Bigg A” White at a listening event for Daz Dillinger and Lil Eazy-E’s joint album, The Legacy. According to him, Eazy had collaborations in the stash with Slash of Guns N’ Roses.

“There is unreleased music still out there,” Bigg A confirmed. “We know for a fact that he had two or three or four reels in his car when he went to the hospital. Those reels came up missing.

“He had songs with Slash from Guns n’ Roses — he had songs with Guns n’ Roses on those reels. Those reels have been found ’cause they wound up in Canada. That’s a whole other story, but what happened to them [since], I don’t know.”

He continued: “I don’t know if the estate got them, but there is unreleased music, and Yella has some, I know for a fact that there is some unreleased acapella vocals, that he was working on some records with a couple of producers I worked with and last I heard was that they were up in Dre’s studio.”

Eazy-E (real name Eric Lynn Wright) passed away aged 30 on March 26, 1995 from complications related to AIDS-induced pneumonia.

The N.W.A frontman’s estate released Eazy’s only posthumous album, Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, in January 1996, and several years later an EP in 2002 titled Impact of a Legend.
