Rap artist Krayzie Bone of the Grammy Award-winning hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is set to release his new solo album, "Gemini: Good vs. Evil", today February 8th, as a joint venture between Ball''r Records and his own record company, Thugline Records. The album marks Krayzie Bone's third solo release and follows 1999's platinum double-disc set "Thug Mentality 1999" and 2001's gold album "Thug On Da Line." Featuring guest appearances by fellow Bone Thug members Wish Bone, Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone, the album is backed by the production of multi-platinum producer Li''l Jon, L.T Hutton (Snoop Dogg, Crooked I), Fred Wreck (Kurupt, Everlast) and 5150 Productions (Pen Dragons), among others. The first single from the album, "Get''cha Twisted", is produced by Li''l Jon and "[makes] Twista sound sluggish", according to David Jeffries of the All Music Guide. "Krayzie rattles off one his most aggressive raps...["Get''cha Twisted" is] one of the greatest singles ever to come out of the house of Bone" writes Jeffries. The video, shot in the back alleys and tenaments of Cleveland, Ohio; is eerily reminiscent of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's early days when they burst on to the scene in 1994 with their hit "Thuggish Ruggish Bone." Bone Thugs-n-Harmony went on to sell over 30 million records in North America alone. A remix of "Get''cha Twisted" featuring the rest of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is also included on the album. Also included with the album is a DVD which features footage from Krayzie Bone in the studio and in concert with the rest of the Bone Thug family. "Gemini: Good vs. Evil" is being distributed by BMG/Artist Direct. Rap artist Krayzie Bone is also excited about the launch of the website for his record label, Thugline Records, located at www.thuglinerecords.com. The site features exclusive audio, information and interviews with members of the record label. Thugline Records has also launched a contest to promote the site. Fans will get a chance to design the opening flash intro to the site. The winner of the contest not only gets their name and intro featured on the site, but will also receive a copy of "Gemini: Good vs. Evil" autographed by Krayzie Bone and a "Sippin'' on a 40" maxi-single by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony mentor west coast rap icon Eazy-E.
