Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

When Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger,” he could easily have been talking about the long and illustrious, but tumultuous career of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Though many and varied obstacles, from artistic and financial differences to prison sentences, have divided the Cleveland quintet over the course of their 15-plus years in the game, the Bone brothers have weathered the storms and are now ready to make their comeback with Uni-5: The World’s Enemy, the first LP to feature the full lineup since 2000’s BTNH: Resurrection.

Set to hit stores and online retailers May 4, via BTNH Worldwide/Asylum/Warner Bros, Uni-5 comes complete with official singles “See Me Shine,” “Rebirth” and “Meet Me in the Sky,” as well as leaked tracks “Vegas,” “Gone,” “Pay What You Owe” and the reader-acclaimed “Gangsta’s Glory.” Fans can currently catch four-fifths of BTNH (Layzie, Krayzie, Wish and Flesh) on their ongoing national tour, which began in late March and will run until May 2.

In an exclusive interview with our own DJ “Z,” Layzie, Krayzie, Wish and Flesh step into the Booth to discuss the ways in which their struggles have shaped their musical output, why Bizzy‘s absence from the tour shouldn’t stop fans from purchasing a ticket, and what it will take for Z to finally get all five members on the phone.
