The biographical film details the early days of NWA. Their rise coincides with the rise in hip hop culture, of which the Raiders played a central role in L.A.

Ice Cube has always been a staunch Raiders supporter. He directed a 30 for 30 film about the team called "Straight Outta L.A" and wrote a Raiders theme song.
