The boys in the hood are always hard heading to the big screen.

Original N.W.A member Ice Cube confirmed via Twitter that a biopic about the famous rap group from the late '80s titled Straight Outta Compton is happening, but not just that—he revealed the release date and part of the cast!

"Finally found the cast for the NWA movie. Me, Gary Gray, Dre w/ Cube, Eazy & Dre #StraightOuttaCompton coming 8/14/15," the rapper tweeted. The studio has assembled its leading threesome to tackle the roles of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and the late Eazy-E. The three parties with approval—Cube, Dre and Eazy-E's widow Tomica Wright—have reportedly signed off on the actors who will play the core members of the seminal rap group.
