Thug Stories [PA]

Performer: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: Re-formed as a trio (with Bizzy Bone out of the crew and Flesh-N-Bone behind bars), the groundbreaking Cleveland group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are back at it on their sixth release, THUG STORIES, their first collective effort in almost four years. Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, and Wish Bone have done little to evolve their stylistic formula over the years, and longtime fans will be relieved to hear the group's trademark melodic sing-song flow as it rises over beats, both smoothed-out and hard, courtesy of Kush N Kato, DJ U-Neek, and the Platinum Brothers, among others.

Proteges of the late Erick "Eazy-E" Wright, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony quickly found a mass audience for their unique style, a predecessor of the South's screwed up movement. With a combination of syrupy R&B harmonies with gang-banger imagery and double-time, tongue-twisting rhymes reminiscent of the East Coast raggamuffin style, the five Bones (each of whom would have solo careers) earned their place in the hip-hop pantheon. "Tha Crossroads," a rare and elegiac ballad on death and the hood, became one of the biggest pop hits of the 1990s.
