A member of <a href="spotify:artist:5spEJXLwD1sKUdC2bnOHPg">Bone Thugs-N-Harmony</a>, rapper Krayzie Bone was born Anthony Henderson in Cleveland, Ohio; also known as LeathaFace, The Sawed-Off Gangsta, he joined <a href="spotify:artist:5spEJXLwD1sKUdC2bnOHPg">Bone Thugs-N-Harmony</a> in 1993, debuting a year later with the EP Creepin on Ah Come Up. Subsequent LPs, including 1995's E 1999 Eternal and 1997's The Art of War, launched the group to rap superstardom, and as the decade drew to a close, Krayzie Bone issued his solo debut, Thug Mentality 1999. Inner demons and life on the street were the main topics of 2001's Thug on da Line. Its follow-up, Gemini: Good vs. Evil, was originally slated for a 2004 release but was delayed until early 2005 when Krayzie got to the opportunity to record some tracks for the album with his old crew members Wish Bone and <a href="spotify:artist:23xTTTcfVHvWRIPiDAOAE4">Bizzy Bone</a>. A year later he was featured on the Grammy Award-winning song "Ridin'" by <a href="spotify:artist:6vdMPayKk8YJxxeNP5oMCb">Chamillionaire</a>, while that year's <a href="spotify:artist:5spEJXLwD1sKUdC2bnOHPg">Bone Thugs-N-Harmony</a> album, Thug Stories, launched a steady stream of releases -- and supporting tours -- from the group. Krayzie finally returned to his solo career in 2015 with Chasing the Devil, an album released by the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22eOne%22">eOne</a> label. In 2017, he teamed up with <a href="spotify:artist:23xTTTcfVHvWRIPiDAOAE4">Bizzy Bone</a> for New Waves, which they issued as an official <a href="spotify:artist:5spEJXLwD1sKUdC2bnOHPg">Bone Thugs-N-Harmony</a> album. That same year -- in the same week, no less -- Krayzie released Thug Brothers 2, a collaboration with <a href="spotify:artist:58G1dVGEODhaSBjj2vJJvS">Young Noble</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:2jp3Fk52x0HbymU0lNYbSC">the Outlawz</a>, as well as his sixth mixtape, Eternal Legend. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
