- Notorious B.I.G., "Things Done Changed”, Ready to Die
10 years ago, a time when only New York and Los Angeles were the only two cities believed to spawn all kinds of rap talent, four young men - Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy and Wish better known as Bone Thugs N Harmony would put Cleveland on the map and introduce a new style of rap on an unsuspecting Hip Hop public.
During the 90's, the group's 4 albums would earn them critical acclaim and millions of record. As we entered the new millennium, the group began recording solo projects but the fans craved more from the group as a unit. In 2002, before the release of their fifth album Thug World Order fans were shocked to learn that Bizzy Bone was kicked out of the group. He wasn't featured in the video of their first single "Home" with Phil Collins, he wasn't on the tour but yet he was all over the album!!
Rumors began circulating that Bizzy was heavy into drugs and when he passed out on stage, the group had had enough and kicked him out!
How could they? Many people wondered. "I thought they were a tight unit?" some said while devoted fans believed "Bizzy will straighten himself out and I'm sure they got love for him, everything will be back to normal soon".
It's late 2004 and a few weeks ago Bone Thugs were on tour and guess what? Bizzy wasn't with them. With a new album and movie about to drop in a few weeks through his 7th Sign Records...yours truly was blessed with the chance to talk to the charismatic and the eccentric Bizzy Bone who took time out of a very important family event to talk about Bone Thugs, Hip Hop, life and his upcoming projects:

fate, Bizzy and the rest of BONE Enterprise started to record under the name Bone
Thugs 'n' Harmony signing with Ruthless Records/Sony. Amidst the death of founding
father Easy-E, Bizzy Bone managed to record over 20 albums with Ruthless, seven of
which were released worldwide.

representatives. Bizzy Bone has also recieved a GRAMMY, American Music Award,

In 2002 Bizzy appeared on Americas Most Wanted, telling the story of how he

7 group albums and selling over 30 million records Bizzy is constantly growing. With two
solo albums under his belt, Heavens Movie (Relativity Records) with sales in excess of
900,000 and climbing, and The Gift (AMC) selling over 400,000. Bizzy is releasing his

stay. Along with authoring several books and recording over 2000 songs Bizzy The
Kid Bone has much more fuel in his 27-year-old body.
Beginning in the industry at 15 years old Bizzy has learned to take control of his
career before it is to late. With his label putting out his third solo album Bizzy Bone is
continuing his career moving towards success as, the owner, the man, the leader, the
musician, the author, the father, the brother, the friend, the one & only, Bizzy The Kid
Bone.
