For fans of early 90s rap and hip-hop, Straight Outta Compton is a film that's long-awaited.

The script and story have been circulating Hollywood for years, but now - at long last - it's a reality.

Following the lives of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, it shows their early lives in South Central Los Angeles and their meteoric rise to super-stardom and beyond.

Director F. Gary Gray is keen to demonstrate NWA's rich cultural tapestry and go past the sensationalist headlines that plagued the rap group throughout their career.

Straight Outta Compton hits Irish cinemas in August 14th, 2015.
