Antoine Carraby, known as DJ Yella, is an American DJ, rapper, record producer, and film director. He gained recognition as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru alongside Dr. Dre and later joined the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. Although Yella was the least vocal member, he remained with the group the longest. In 1996, he released his solo album "One Mo Nigga ta Go" dedicated to Eazy-E, before transitioning to directing pornographic films for 12 years. Yella was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A. in 2016. Throughout his career, he collaborated with various artists and contributed to the production of albums for Eazy-E, J.J. Fad, Michel'le, and others. Yella's impact on West Coast hip hop was significant, and his contributions to N.W.A.'s success were instrumental.
