100 Miles and Runnin' is the only EP from the American gangsta rap group N.W.A. Released on August 14, 1990, this EP of five tracks reflects an evolution of N.W.A's sound and centers on the single "100 Miles and Runnin'".[1] Two tracks, "100 Miles" and "Real Niggaz", incidentally incited N.W.A's feud with Ice Cube, who had left to start a solo rap career.[8] The porno rap track "Just Don't Bite It" also drew notice.[1] Pushing lyrical boundaries in its day,[1] the EP went gold in November 1990 and platinum in September 1992.[9]
