"Alwayz into Somethin'" is a 1991 song by American hip hop group N.W.A, released in 1991. It is the first single released from their 1991 album N****z4Life, and features Admiral D. The song is an early example of G-funk, a subgenre further developed by Dr. Dre on his solo debut album The Chronic by using beats, samples and instrumentation similar to the one used in "Alwayz into Somethin'". The song features a diss to former group member Ice Cube, with the line "Dre, I was speaking to your bitch O'Shea."

In the music video, N.W.A's members are shown stealing, shooting, being arrested and in jail. The video depicts scenes of murder and gang violence. The song appears on the group's two greatest hits albums, Greatest Hits and The Best of N.W.A: The Strength of Street Knowledge.
