Antoine Carraby (born December 11, 1961), known professionally as DJ Yella, is an American DJ, record producer, and film director from Compton, California.[1][2]
DJ Yella began his career as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru along with Dr. Dre.[3] He later joined the pioneering gangsta rap group N.W.A (originally composed of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Arabian Prince and Eazy-E) and became the least vocal but longest-lasting member of the group. His first and only studio album One Mo Nigga ta Go was released in 1996 through Street Life Records and was dedicated to Eazy-E. After the release of the album he left the music industry to direct pornographic films until 2011, when he started working on a new album called West Coastin.[4]
