Influences and Inspirations

• Lil Eazzyy’s sound is a mix of old school soul Chicago drill and modern trap shaped by both family and environment. His father a Chicago sheriff introduced him to artists like Maroon 5, The Temptations, The Isley Brothers and Erykah Badu.These early sounds gave him a love for melody groove and storytelling which later showed in his hooks and personal lyrics. He has even said “Before age 11 my dad had me on Michael Jackson all the old school stuff” which likely inspired his sense of rhythm and showmanship³⁶.
• When he moved in with his mom he discovered Chicago drill. G Herbo was one of his first inspirations with Eazzyy recalling “My homie put me onto Herb when he was still Lil Herb that was my first artist I started picking up on”. Lil Bibby and Chief Keef also shaped him. He admitted “I was listening to Herb and Keef and they addressed what I was going through, I wanted to have my own reincarnation in music”. From Herbo he drew raw realism from Keef hypnotic hooks and from Bibby a gritty delivery³⁷.
• His own life experiences also fuel his creativity. Losing friends dealing with betrayal and growing up in Chicago gave him constant material. He once explained “Being in Chicago music just fly around. I got some unreleased Juice unreleased Polo unreleased Durk unreleased Herb… once I got that first Herb song I was like I need to find some more leaks”. This showed how much he studied his idols while shaping his own craft³⁸.
• Other Chicago drill pioneers like Fredo Santana, Lil Reese, LA Capone, RondoNumbaNine, Tay600 and Lil Durk also influenced him. Durk’s melodic pain music inspired Eazzyy to blend drill with emotional auto tuned tracks. In fact when Atlantic Records asked who he wanted to work with he mentioned Durk and Future as key inspirations.
• He also cites Future Trippie Redd and Lil Baby as inspirations. Future’s blend of trap pain and flexing influenced how Eazzyy approaches beats. Trippie showed him how to mix rap with rock like melodies while Lil Baby’s rapid storytelling flow resonated with him as another street grounded voice.
• Juice WRLD was another key figure from his own high school. Seeing Juice’s success proved to him that someone from their background could reach the world. He once said that HF High had Juice and sports stars and it made him feel like he could be another GOAT coming out of that area.
• His crew SleezeMoney also plays a big role. In one lyric he rapped “I am so SleezeMoney I am so CEO” highlighting how his circle shaped his identity and drive. Early encouragement from local engineers and peers convinced him he had something special.
• Now Eazzyy himself has started to influence others. Younger artists in Chicago see him as proof that you can blow up without beef and that melodic drill can work on a bigger stage. Fans and peers alike are inspired by his authenticity and consistency.
