BOOMBOX Presents: DJ Yella (N.W.A.)

Following the success of last season's DJ Sueside performance at The Music Room, OHM Events brings a new monthly series of old skool Hip Hop in the form of BOOMBOX. BOOMBOX brings you a part of the ‘World’s Most Dangerous Group’, DJ Yella from N.W.A.!! DJ Yella (N.W.A.) performs at the Music Room, August 23rd Yella is an American DJ, music producer and film director from Compton, California. He was a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru and is also one of the founding members of the pioneering gangsta rap group N.W.A. (which is composed of Yella, Dr. Dre, The Arabian Prince, Ice Cube, MC Ren and Eazy-E.) Along with Dre, Yella produced Eazy-E’s debut album Eazy-Duz-It and all three N.W.A. albums, translating into millions of sales. He co-produced the platinum selling debut albums of J.J. Fad and Michel’le with Dre and contributed to The D.O.C.’s 1989 album No One Can Do It Better (also produced by Dre). Jerry Heller witnessed Dre and Yella’s work together and wrote in 2006 of an almost eerie understanding between the pair, as they crafted high quality beats and productions with almost no words or full sentences needing to be spoken. Yella released his 1996 debut solo album ‘One Mo Nigga ta Go’ featuring members of the Ruthless ‘family tree’ like Kokane, B.G. Knocc Out & Dresta, rhyming over his productions. After taking a break to concentrate on being a film director, Yella returned in 2012 with the release of West Coastin’. ____________________________________________________________ • EVENT DETAILS • • Doors open 9pm • Tickets AED100 • Pre-Sale Tickets AED90 from Virgin megastore • Supported by Break DJ Lobito, Somalie and Live performance by the RastaPharaos For more information please contact 050 725 8277
