Efil4zaggin LP

Album Details

Legendary home to some of the most ground-breaking, forward-thinking music in modern history, Priority Records has returned to once again push boundaries and shift culture. Established in 1985, Priority helped bring West Coast rap to prominence with legendary groups like N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Eazy-E while also handling distribution for labels like Rap-A-Lot, Ruthless, Death Row, No Limit and Roc-A-Fella. The iconic label celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010. 1991's EFIL4ZAGGIN aka Niggaz4Life is the second and final studio album from gangsta rap supergroup N.W.A. following their landmark 1988 debut Straight Outta Compton. Only four of the original members remain here (Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren) as Ice Cube had already left for a solo career in 1989. Hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the controversial 15-track swan song is littered with violent/sexually charged lyrics, soul-funk samples and hard-hitting beats as heard on standout singles like "Appetite for Destruction" and "Alwayz Into Somethin'."
