N.W.A. and the Posse
Encyclopedia : N : NW : NWA : N.W.A. and the Posse
N.W.A and the Posse was a Macola Records constructed compilation that was marketed as the first album by the rap music group N.W.A. The group itself did not sanction the release. It was originally released in 1987 and again in 1989 on CD with the addition of one more song (A Bitch Iz a Bitch). Many of the songs on the album are not by N.W.A., but rather, Dr. Dre produced songs by the group Fila Fresh Crew taken from their debut album Tuffest Man Alive. That group featured N.W.A.'s writer The D.O.C. (aka Doc T) before he joined their creative team. It also includes singles originally marketed as Eazy E solo. The cover artwork was actually from the group's previously released single, Dopeman/Boyz n the Hood. The album sold more than 500,000 copies, reaching gold status.
