The Source Magazine - June 1995 - Issue #69 (Eazy-E Memorial Cover)

In Memory of a Gangsta Rap Superstar.

Released in June 1995 (Issue #69), this historic edition of The Source stands as one of the most important issues in the publication's history. Hitting newsstands shortly after the tragic passing of Eric "Eazy-E" Wright, this memorial cover pays tribute to the godfather of gangsta rap and the visionary founder of Ruthless Records.

This issue is an essential piece of West Coast hip-hop history and a highly sought-after collectible for N.W.A. archivists. (Bonus: The back cover features a vintage 1995 Tommy Boy Records advertisement for Ill Al Skratch and the 'New Jersey Drive' motion picture soundtrack).
