Born in August of 1991, Abubakar Al Jilany, aka "Lil Eazy", is a Somalian Hip Hop artist born and raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Lil Eazy started his music career as a solo artist in 2007. In 2009, he started getting attention as a member of the Knockout Crew, a hip hop group out of Jeddah, at a time where hip hop in the region was heavily focused on disses and battles on hip hop community online forums.
In April of 2014, the Knockout Crew signed a contract with Saudi-based record label Jeddah Legends. In 2017, Lil Eazy became a solo artist, and shortly after, he signed to Outlaw Productions.
The rising star has gained popularity across the region for his unique style, cutting through a dense market of Saudi-based rappers and standing out. The music video of his single "Millionaire" quickly gained a million views, becoming his biggest single.
Continuing to make 2018 a big career year, he was also chosen to feature on the KSA version of the official anthem of the 2018 World Cup titled “Colors” alongside Jason Derulo and Aseel Omran.
Later that year, he collaborated with Flipperachi on an album titled “The Proof”, which makes a slight diversion away from commercial music and gives the listener a variety of different styles.
Currently, Lil Eazy continues pushing the border and taking hip hop in Saudi to an international level, as he’s recognized by the likes of super producer Swizz Beatz. His full length studio album is in the works and is set to be released this year.
