Who is Bizzy Bone?

American rapper and actor Bryon Anthony ‘Bizzy Bone’ McCane II, was born in Columbus, Ohio USA, on 12 September 1976, making his zodiac sign Virgo. He’s probably known best for being a member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, a rap group from Cleveland, although Bizzy’s also a successful solo artist.

Education and early life

Bizzy was only four years old when he and his two sisters were kidnapped by their mother’s boyfriend in 1980; the man convinced the children that their mother and grandmother had died, and that he would be taking care of them. They spent over two years with the man, during which he sexually assaulted and tortured Bizzy, and it was only in the first half of 1983 that Bizzy and his sisters’ babysitter learned that the children had been reported missing, and thus called the police.

Bizzy and his older sister began living together in Cleveland, Ohio when Bizzy was 13, and it was around this time that he was introduced to American rappers Flesh-n-Bone, Wish Bone and Layzie Bone. He was 16 when he became a founding member of the rap group B. O. N. E. Enterpri$e, Bizzy matriculated from high school in 1995 and then continued pursuing rap music, rather than a college degree.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

The boys’ debut album “Faces of Death” was released in 1993, while they were still called B. O. N. E. Enterpri$e, and it was in November of the same year that American rapper Eazy-E heard about them and chose to help them, convincing the boys to change the name of their group to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and to sign with Ruthless Records.

The boys’ extended play (EP) “Creepin on ah Come Up” came out in June 1994, and reached #2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #12 on Billboard Top 200 Albums; the EP’s singles “Foe tha Love of $” and “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” both became quite popular, with the latter peaking at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Hot Rap Tracks. Eazy-E was there to help the group, as he worked as their executive producer and taught them many things, however, he died on 26 March 1995, and this made the group uncertain about their future.

Having already seen their potential, Ruthless Records continued to support Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and their second album “E. 1999 Eternal” was released in 1995, and reached #4 on Hot Rap Tracks, while it also topped the Hot Rap Tracks and Hot 100 charts; it remains their best album, certified platinum four times by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In 1996, they founded the label Mo Thugs Records, and under it released their compilation album “Family Scriptures” on 5 November of the same year; Bone Thugs-n-Harmony had also agreed to collaborate with 2Pac, however, he was killed in September 1996.

Their third album “The Art of War” came out on 29 July 1997, and its single “Look Into My Eyes” became popular, peaking at #2 on Hot Rap Tracks, and being used as soundtrack of the 1997 movie “Batman & Robin”; the album’s second single “If I Could Teach the World” was also quite popular, and reached #3 on Hot Rap Tracks.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony’s fourth album, “BTNHResurrection” was released in 2000, and was followed by “Thug World Order” in 2002 and “Thug Stories” in 2006. On 8 May 2007, the boys released their new album “Strength & Loyalty” under Interscope Records, which topped the Billboard Urban Music and iTunes charts, peaked at #2 on Billboard 200, and was certified gold by RIAA. Its single “I Tried” became a hit, peaking at #2 on Billboard Hot 100.

Their eighth album “Uni5: The World’s Enemy” came out on 4 May 2010, and was followed by their album “The Art of War: World War III” on 10 December 2013.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony revealed in 2014 that they would be releasing only one more album, and that it would be auctioned off in 2015, with the starting bid being $1 million; however, they announced in 2017 that their plans had changed, and that the album wouldn’t be auctioned off – in fact it’s yet to be released.
