N.W.A was formed in Compton, California in 1986 by Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, Arabian Prince and Ice Cube, with The D.O.C.
and the Posse in 1987, which also featured songs by The Fila Fresh Crew, Rappinstine and Ron-De-Vu.
[3] Arabian Prince left N.W.A due to having many royalty and financial disagreements with N.W.A's manager and Eazy-E's business partner Jerry Heller's whilst Ice Cube left N.W.A in 1989 due to ongoing financial disagreements.
[7] Dr. Dre left N.W.A the same year, at which point the group had essentially disbanded and Eazy-E died in 1995 after being diagnosed with HIV.
[1] Since the group's breakup a number of compilation albums have been released, including 1996's Greatest Hits which reached the top 50 of the Billboard 200.
