Kanye West earns another new record with the latest track “Eazy”.
Kanye West and The Game kicked off 2022 with a brand new collaboration “Eazy“, which samples Eazy-E’s 1988 classic “Eazy-Duz-It”. The track featured production contributions from Mike Dean, Hit-Boy and DJ Premier. The song received praise from fans & critics, and it also went on to do well on the charts.
The song debuted at #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it earned The Game his highest-charting single in over fourteen years. Kanye West also achieved a monumental milestone as he becomes the only rap artist in history to have a charted song on Billboard for 19 consecutive years.

The track also made headlines for Kanye West taking shots at his estranged wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
“God saved me from that crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a*s (who?)” Kanye raps. “And my new b***h bad/I know Illuminati mad.”
Following the incident, Davidson allegedly recruited more security. The use of photographer Nick Knight’s 1997 shot of a skinned monkey on the cover of “Eazy” sparked criticism. PETA, an animal rights organization, condemned the photograph, and its head, Ingrid Newkirk, issued a statement.
