NWA biopic 'Straight Outta Compton' finally confirmed its cast and is anticipated for a 2015 release.

Group members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who are also producing the film, took to Twitter to share the picture which shows off the actors who'll portray their younger conterparts in the film, the Verge reported.

While 45-year-old Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson Jr. would be playing the young version of the singer, the roles of young Dr. Dre and the late Eazy-E would be filled by little-known actors Marcus Callender and Jason Mitchell respectively.

The renowned west coast rap group, which was widely popular in the mid to late '80s, had also given a kick start to Cube's and Dr. Dre's solo careers.
