In 1991 a group of 4 young street hardened boys by t he name of B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e

city of Cleveland, Ohio. They headed out t o Los Angeles and were determined t o perform f or
the t op record l abels at t he t ime. They constantly called i n t o prove t hemselves. Their efforts
paid off when t hey rapped over t he phone t o l egendary N.W.A. member, Eazy E, who owned
Ruthless Records. They displayed t heir melodic rapid f ire l yrics with group harmony.

Eazy E who was having a show i n t heir hometown sent t he group back on t he bus t o sign
contracts under a new name, Bone Thugs -n- Harmony. While t he group name changed t he
boys kept t heir aliases Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone
Eazy put t hem on a f ast t rack t o display t heir t alents t o t he world. I n 1994 t he boys
cranked out t heir debut EP “Creepin On Ah Come Up” with hit singles “Thuggish Ruggish Bone”
and “Foe Tha Luv of $” which f eatured t heir mentor, Eazy E and Layzie’s brother Flesh-n-Bone.
The group’s style brought a breath of f resh air t o hip hop at t he t ime t hat t he album went double
