In a powerful and explosive conversation on Boss Talk 101, legendary rapper, songwriter, and pioneer The D.O.C. takes audiences inside one of the most influential periods in music history—the rise of West Coast hip-hop, the birth of Death Row Records, and his experiences alongside icons like 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and Eazy-E.

An era when N.W.A changed the landscape.
