One Mo Nigga ta Go is a 1996 album by former N.W.A producer DJ Yella. It is a tribute dedicated to the late Eazy-E, a long-time friend and fellow N.W.A member, who died of AIDS on March 26, 1995, exactly one year before the album was released.[1][2] The album cover shows close-up of Eazy-E's face and Yella himself at Eazy-E's grave. Singles included "Dat's How I'm Livin, and "4 Tha E," a tribute to Eazy-E. The album is certified Gold.
DJ Yella produced the whole album, but did not rap on most of it. Yella never released any other solo material, and after the release he left the music industry to direct pornographic films.[1] One of the reasons Yella made this album was to help raise money for college for nine of Eazy-E's children.[3]
