The package will hold 16 songs by the artist, as well as 7 music videos and an exclusive listen to the track by eazy's own son, Lil E.

10 years on from the death of Eazy, Lil E commented on his father's success and prolific career.
?He started the whole gangster rap era, There wouldn?t be nothing?not Tupac, not Biggie, not 50 Cent, not Dr. Dre, not Eminem? if it wasn?t for my father. He started it. He?s the Godfather of gangster rap.?
