After auditioning over the phone for hip hop’s godfather of gangsta rap, Eazy-E, in 1993; and their first album released in 1994 – Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have made their place in hip hop history.

Having a long lasting career blessed with a world wide hip hop and rap fan base, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has worked with many of the top artists over the years; and not just artists of the hip hop genre. Artist like pop music’s Phil Collins and others have shared tracks with the ‘Bone Thugs’.

Now Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will have their impact again on hip hop with the release their long-awaited Interscope/Full Surface debut, "Strength and Loyalty," on April 17, 2007.

"I Tried," a track that features Akon is the album's lead single. Mariah Carey rejoins Bone on the melodic "Little Love," the album's second single produced by Jermaine Dupri. Another album gem is the track "Order My Steps," which pairs Bone with Grammy award winning gospel artist Yolanda Adams marking her first appearance on a hip hop album.

When asked about the new LP Layzie Bone says "Man, I just feel fortunate to be able to put together something of this quality. We''ve been working on it for some time now, and everyone involved has been focused on making a classic. I think that's what we''ve done."

When asked Wish Bone adds, "I''m really excited to be back on a major label and have the opportunity to introduce a new generation to Bone Thugs n Harmony."

While recording Strength and Loyalty, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony members found time to work on outside projects.

Krayzie Bone snagged another Grammy nomination for his appearance on Chamillionaire's 2006 hit single, "Ridin''." "Being a part of Chamillionaire's smash ''Ridin'' was incredible, I''m excited to keep the momentum going with the Strength and Loyalty Bone project," states Krayzie Bone.
