Bone Thugs-N-Harmony formed in 1991 in Cleveland, Ohio, with the quintet of rappers: Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone. They pioneered a fast-paced rapping style called “Chopper Rap” during the 1990s, known for its unique melodic delivery.
They signed with Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records in 1993 and released their debut EP, “Creepin on ah Come Up,” the following year. This EP featured their breakout hit “Thuggish Ruggish Bone.”
They achieved major success in 1995 with their sophomore album, “E 1999 Eternal,” which included the smash hits “1st of tha Month” and “East 1999.” Bone Thugs-N- Harmony won a Grammy in 1997 for their song “Tha Crossroads,” a tribute to their late mentor Eazy-E. Credited as one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony continues to record and tour, though with some lineup changes over the years.
Too $hort was a pioneering West Coast rapper and one of the first to gain recognition in the late 1980s. Known for his signature stage name Too $hort.
Yung Joc, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, is best known for his smash hit “It’s Goin’ Down” which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. He debuted with the album “New Joc City” in 2006 which, along with its follow-up “Hustlenomics” (2007), achieved commercial success.
