The Rise Of N.W.A.
It all began in Compton in 1986 when a D.J. convinced a drug dealer to start a record label. They produce songs about actual life experiences that tell tales of gang violence, crime, and police harassment. These ingredients brought Ruthless Records to life and sent N.W.A. on their musical journey.
The film covers the group’s formation, their individual lives, their breakthrough album Straight Outta Compton, the ensuing creation of their sound, and their rise to prominence during the 1980s and 1990s. Their story is a powerful indictment of police brutality against African-Americans and for its honest portrayal of the violence that permeates the lives of people living in Compton.
The Fall Of N.W.A.
