Anthony Wheaton, known as DJ Yella, was part of N.W.A. starting in 1986. He worked on tracks like "4 The E" and contributed to the group's production during their early years.
Among the songs he's associated with are "4 The E," "Dat's How I'm Livin'," and "Westside Story." These tracks came out of the West Coast rap scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
After N.W.A., DJ Yella continued making music, including songs like "Neva Had A Chance" and "Streets Won't Let Me Go." His work from that period reflects the sound that emerged from Compton and Los Angeles at the time.
