DJ Yella: “I Haven’t Worked On Music With Dr. Dre Since 1991” [Video]

In this exclusive interview with VladTV, DJ Yella opens up about producing some of N.W.A.’s most memorable records and his return to the music business after his stint in the adult film industry. Yella touched on working with Ice Cube after the disbandment of N.W.A., but insists tracks like “Hello” and “Chin Check” aren’t official N.W.A tracks, but songs by Cube. When it comes to an official N.W.A reunion, the producer says, “You never know what’s going to happen.” The producer also mentions he and Dr. Dre hadn’t worked on music since 1991. During their collaborative time, he says he helped make most of the beats which has helped him live a comfortable lifestyle today. He was also offered the chance to tour with Dre for the “Up and Smoke” Tour in 2000, but was content with his lucrative work in the adult film industry. During his time in the adult film world, he produced and edited up to 300 films. Yella says he enjoyed the work, but has returned to his first love-DJ’ing.
