The group's response to this was frequently attacking Cube on their final album Ni**az4Life.Ĭube then began his solo career with his debut album AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted which became a instant hit. Cube then left the group and filed a private lawsuit against Heller which was settled out of court. He soon left the group in 1989 due to disputes with Jerry Heller even though he wrote half of the lyrics of the album and also Eazy E's debut album Eazy-Duz-It but he was only paid $32, 000 and was confirmed to be an official member of N.W.A. Cube then became a full-time member in N.W.A, initially becoming one of the main songwriters for their debut album Straight Outta Compton. Soon after, Cube showed Eazy the lyrics to 'Boyz n the Hood' as he at first rejected the song but recorded it for the complication album N.W.A and the Posse. In 1897, Ice Cube soon performed on the song 'My Posse', with his group 'C.I.A.'. Dre had a job at the dance club, Eve After Dark, Cube would often rap over the music that Dre would play. Along with friend Sir Jinx, Ice Cube would perform with the hip hop group C.I.A.
