The son of late rapper Eric “Eazy E” Wright participated in “My Hood Votes” this past weekend. Eric Wright Jr. helped to register Compton,California residents;the 24-year-old says that November 4th will be his first time voting:
“My Hood Votes is us representing us. It’s us going out and talking to each other the way that only we can about the importance of having some involvement in the political process,” Lil Eazy E told AllHipHop.com, adding that Nov. 4 will be his first time voting in an election. “My pops loved Compton. I love Compton. This was the perfect opportunity to get it crackin’ in my hometown with my family and take it into the streets.”
The founder of “My Hood Votes”, Jasmyne Cannick,wants to focus lower-class voters:
“Over the course of the presidential and vice-presidential candidate’s debates, it’s become crystal clear that both Democrats and Republicans are focused on one segment of the American population, the middle class,” Cannick said. “Hence, the absence of any mention of the word poverty, even though it is a way of life for more than 37 million people in this country. So while the candidates continue to be focused on the wealthy and middle class, in L.A., I’ve been focused on the hood.”
Rapper Eazy E’s second born son,Derrick Wright,19,was also there to assist his brother Eric Jr. See pictures below.
