NWA
Compton hip-hop collective
NWA is an initialism with several meanings.
Most prominently, it's the pioneering West Coast hip-hop group whose name stands for Niggaz Wit Attitudes—the group that launched gangsta rap and the careers of Dr.
Dre and Ice Cube.
NWA also stands for Northwest Airlines, a major U.S. carrier until its 2010 merger with Delta, and the National Wrestling Alliance, a professional wrestling organization.
