Antoine Carraby (born December 11, 1961), better known by his stage name DJ Yella, is an American DJ, rapper, record producer, and film director from Los Angeles, California.
DJ Yella began his career as a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru along with Dr. Dre.[4] He later joined the pioneering gangsta rap group N.W.An (originally composed of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, 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.
In 2016, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of N.W.A.
