"'Panic Zone' represented the sound of West Coast electro, as many other Arabian Prince and Egyptian Lover 12"s would before this release, but Dopeman and 8 Ball seemed to revisit Boyz' formula "

The A and the B-wide; "Panic Zone" and "Dopeman" off the 12" issued prior this LP's release represent two very distinct sounds of LA hip-hop - one sound that would essentially 'die' and one sound that would change hip-hop forever.

The hi-end electro sound with its braggadocio lyrics of 'Panic Zone' with its pulsed orchestral hits and the timeless shout-out lyric; "I'm the arabian prince, and we're N.W.A." cements its place between the two worlds.

The B-side in contrast - filled with angry sometimes obscene ranting set to the back-drop of extended drum filled introductions and the whiny hi-pitch synth that would become synonymous with the emerging soon-to-be-called 'gangsta rap' genre.

This is the first release from N.W.A. back in 1987. With this record the typical West Coast Sound changed from Electro Beats to Gangster Rap. The title "Panic Zone" produced by Arabian Prince and Dr. Dre has still this typical Old School Electro Style but the other productions on this EP reflect the upcoming Gangster Rap. The famous Ruthless Logo was drawn by Darryl Davis who did all popular West Coast Picture Covers like "Surgery" or "808 Beats".
