History

The three members came together in 1989 for an independent record label, Drive-By Records to record their debut album, Livin' in a Hoe House, which was released a year later. The album was not a huge success, only making it to #38 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, but the group became known for their sexually explicit lyrics and they were soon signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. They also made a cameo appearance in Eazy-E's diss song to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg Real Muthaphuckkin G's.

In 1994, H.W.A. released two EPs—the remix album I Ain't No Lady[1] and Az Much Ass Azz U Want, which made it to No. 71 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. After the album ran its course, H.W.A. disbanded withouth any further releases.
