Answer
In 1991, Dr. Dre departed from the influential rap group N.W.A. His exit marked a significant turning point in the group's trajectory and his own career. Dre's departure was driven by creative differences and financial disputes with the group's manager, Jerry Heller. He went on to establish his own label, Aftermath Entertainment, and release his critically acclaimed solo album, "The Chronic," which revolutionized the G-funk sound.
