He has toured the world multiple times and sold enough records for a lifetime. He could easily hang up the mic and fade away as one of the most influential figures in rap history.
For the typical recording artist, these things on top of winning two Grammy’s and selling over 20 million records may be enough, but then again….Krayzie Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is no typical artist. Aware of his diehard fan base’s need for another fix, Krayzie has prepared his 5th solo project “Just One Mo Hit”, in stores March 24th on RBC Records.
Long considered the leader of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Krayzie’s laid back harmonizing flow was the back bone for the groups biggest hits including “Tha Crossroads”, “1st of The Month”, “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”, “Notorious Thugs” and more. And in a testament to the true staying power of Bone Thugs, their last album “Strength & Loyalty” sold over 500,000 copies on the strength of the Akon assisted single “I Tried”, reclaiming their place amongst hip hop’s greats.
In 1997, the group was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance with their song "Tha Crossroads" from their E 1999 Eternal album. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are also the only artists to do songs with 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, and Eazy-E while they were still alive.
In 1998, Krayzie recorded his solo debut, Thug Mentality 1999. The album was released as a double disc set, featuring a large selection of guest appearances and was certified platinum by the RIAA. In 2001, Krayzie released Thug On Da Line with the album receiving positive reviews from music critics and went gold. Amazon.com also labeled it as one of the best albums of 2001. In 2006, Krayzie Bone was featured on “Ridin'” by Chamillionaire and received the "Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.
With his recent resurgence, it’s no wonder that Krayzie has decided to give his fans One Mo Hit.
“Just One Mo Hit”. Available everywhere March 24th.
