H.W.A. (an initialism of Hoez With Attitude) is an American all-female hip hop trio composed of Jazz, Diva and Baby Girl; Diva was later on replaced by Go-Di. They were active between 1989 and 1994, and reformed in April 2012. Their name is a reference to another Hip Hop / Gangsta rap group called N.W.A

## History

[edit]

The three members came together in 1989, founded and funded by Chicago street legend Keith "KP" Presley, and soon secured an independent label from Drive-By Records to record their first album Livin in a hoe house. The album was not a huge success, only making it to #38 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, but the group became known for its sexually explicit lyrics and they were soon signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. Their second album, Az Much Ass Azz U Want, was even less of a success, briefly reaching #71 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. They also made a cameo appearance in Eazy-E's "diss" song to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, "Real Muthaphuckkin G's".

In 1993, H.W.A. released a single called "All That (Juzt a Little Action", which received a very generous amount of airtime due to the involvement of Eazy-E.

In 1994, H.W.A. released a remix album called I Ain't No Lady.[1] Afterwards, H.W.A disbanded.

In April 2012, according to Jazz, H.W.A. reformed.[2]
