Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1991, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony—consisting of Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-N-Bone—revolutionized hip-hop with their distinct blend of rapid-fire "chopper" rap and melodic harmonies. Signed by Eazy-E to Ruthless Records, they achieved massive success in the mid-90s with iconic albums Creepin on ah Come Up and E. 1999 Eternal. Known for hits like "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," "1st of tha Month," and the Grammy-winning "Tha Crossroads," the group bridged the gap between hardcore and mainstream rap, securing their legacy as influential innovators in the music industry.
