Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for its much-anticipated biopic about music group N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton. The film tells the story of how a group of young men from southern Los Angeles came together to form a revolutionary music group, pioneered a genre, and became the voice for a generation frustrated with life in the hood.
