N.W.A.
Artist Overview
Springing without warning from a late-1980s crack war-torn Los Angeles, N.W.A. made their neighborhood infamous with STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. The group--which included Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eazy-E--was among the first on the West Coast to address street-oriented, sociopolitical themes in a confrontational manner. Though N.W.A. proved too volatile to hold together, its individual members went on to become the biggest names in West Coast hip-hop.
