History
The song is an early example of G-funk produced by Dr. Dre.[1][2][3][4] His commercially successful solo debut, The Chronic, further developed the subgenre 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 a part of the lyrics, MC Ren disses Ice Cube in the line, "Dre I was speakin' to your bitch O'Shea", referring to Ice Cube leaving the group over royalty disputes.
