This amazing all over print t-shirt celebrates the iconic west coast hip hop group NWA. This shirt is copyright to Ruthless Records and it was made the same year that the label released the group's second and final studio album, Niggaz4Life, also commonly known as Efil4zaggin. The back of this tee features a portrait of NWA, which at this point consisted of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren, and DJ Yella. Former members Ice Cube and Arabian Prince had already departed from the group several years prior.

When it was released, Niggaz4Life received some flack for its sexist and explicit lyrics, but it also became the first independently distributed album to ever top the Billboard 200. Not only that, but it was also the first number one album ever produced by a hardcore rap group. Throughout the group's tenure they were consistently under fire for their profanity and controversial themes, but this did nothing to dampen their influence.

Despite many mainstream radio stations refusing to play NWA's music, they were still able to sell millions of records in just the US alone. They also used their fame to bring attention to political issues. One of the best examples of this was with their iconic track, "Fuck tha Police", a song highlighting racial profiling and police brutality. Not only did the song offer support to young African Americans, but it also brought these issues to the attention of white listeners.
