Originally hailing from Cleveland, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony found success through a mix of raw talent and a heavy-hitting West Coast connection—Eazy-E. The founding member of N.W.A. put them on his own Ruthless Records, releasing their Creepin on ah Come Up EP in 1994. That was followed by the iconic E. 1999 Eternal, which featured classics, like “Crossroads” and “1st of Tha Month.” The group, known for its unique blend of gangster swagger, potent lyricism, rapid-fire rhymes and rich harmonies, is still grinding.
