"Panic Zone" is a Debut Single from American group N.W.A. It was released on August 13th, 1987, by Ruthless Records & Macola Record Co.. The song was written by Dr. Dre, Arabian Prince & Krazy D, while production was also handled by the Arbian Prince & Dr. Dre. Guest appearance is Egyptian Lover.[1] It is featured on the compilation/split album N.W.A. and the Posse. Panic Zone was the first Electro song that Arabian Prince made with N.W.A.[2]
Background
[edit]The song was made because their other songs were too explicit for radio play which led to N.W.A. creating an Electro song called Panic Zone in 1987 and doing the same in 1989 with Something 2 Dance 2. The song is based on town next to Compton called Panic Zone.[2][3]

[edit]All tracks are written by Dr. Dre, Arabian Prince, Krazy D & Ice Cube.
