N.W.A
American hip hop group
This article is about the hip hop group. For other uses, see NWA.
N.W.A (an abbreviation for Niggaz Wit Attitudes[5][6]) was an American hip hop group formed in Compton, California. Among the earliest and most significant figures of the gangsta rap subgenre, the group is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential acts in hip hop music.[7][8]
