In 1988, N.W.A. releases its first studio album "Straight Outta Compton." The record not only stirs controversy with its brutally honest depiction of life in Southern Los Angeles, but also launches the career of a band that would change music forever. Straight Outta Compton follows the dramatic stories of band members Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, DJ Yella, and MC Ren, as they navigated the industry, acquiring fame, fortune and a place in history. "What stands is an amazement, an electrifying piece of hip-hop history that speaks urgently to right now." –Rolling Stone
