Niggaz on tha Run (N.O.T.R.) was a 1990s Gangsta rap group from Compton, California. They were formed by MC Eiht and mainly featured his long-time friends and members of Compton's Most Wanted, DJ Slip, Tha Chill and Boom Bam.
Background
They formed in 1993 and were due to release an EP in early '94, but it was cancelled a few months prior.

(see referenced playlist) They were heavily involved with MC Eiht featuring C.M.W.'s 1994 & '96 albums, We Come Strapped & Death Threatz.
