Bone Thugs-N-Harmony originally started out as B.O.N.E. Enterprise, their first release was Faces of Death under that name in 1991 in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1993 the group had renamed themselves Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, with their members each taking up a name related to the group's moniker. Krayzie Bone, who was born Anthony Henderson in Cleveland, and has also been called Leatherface and the Sawed-Off Gangster, joined the group in 1993. Wish Bone and Layzie Bone were both the most quiet of the group, preferring to remain under the radar when the rest of the group pursued solo careers. Flesh-N-Bone was born Stanly Howse, also hailing from Cleveland, and is perhaps the most controversial member due to several arrests and a several year stint in prison. Bizzy Bone was born on September 12, 1976 in Columbus, Ohio, his chronic drinking problems have led him to be out of favor with the group several times making him the least consistent member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.Since they took the name Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in 1995 the group has enjoyed extensive popularity. Since 1994 their albums have had a strong standing in the charts. Starting with 1994's Creepin' on a Come Up the group peaked at number 12 on The Billboard 200. Their next album E 1999 Eternal reached number one on the same chart. Then Art Of War in 1997 did the same, appearing twice on the 200 and both times reaching the number one marker. 2000's BTNHResurrection topped out at number two. Even though they haven't matched the success of BTHNR the group has continued to have a strong standing in the charts over the past 14 years. With one after another Billboard album and a string of top ten singles, this group is really able to produce rap that is worthy of high acclaim.
