Total Number of Songs by Eazy-E
Eazy-E is credited as a performer or featured artist on more than 130 officially released songs across studio albums, posthumous compilations, and soundtracks, according to public discography databases and label catalogs. The count includes solo tracks, N.W.A group songs where he is credited as a featured member, and verified guest appearances on other artists' projects. Streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music list his core catalog under his official artist profile, which is regularly updated by rights holders and aggregators like Forbes music reporting teams when new compilations surface.
The most commonly cited figure for his solo studio catalog is around 70 to 90 tracks, depending on whether you include alternate versions, remixes, and skits. When N.W.A group songs and verified features are added, the total rises above 130. This number is based on tracklists from major releases and posthumous sets distributed by Universal Music Group and its subsidiaries, which manage the bulk of his publishing and master rights.
