"Alwayz Into Somethin'" is a 1991 single by American hip hop group N.W.A featuring Admiral D from their third full-length studio album, Niggaz4Life. The song also appeared on the N.W.A's Greatest Hits album and The Best of N.W.A. - The Strength of Street Knowledge.
The song is an early example of G-funk produced by Dr. Dre. His commercially successful solo debut, "The Chronic," further developed the sub-genre with beats, samples, and instrumentation similar to the one used in "Alwayz into Somethin.'" The song was featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, on the West Coast gangsta rap station, Radio Los Santos.
In the music video, N.W.A.'s members are shown robbing stores, shoplifting, stealing cars, shooting at rival gang members, blowing things up, being arrested and tossed in jail. The video depicts scenes of murder and gang violence.
