Krayzie Bone Officially Leaves Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony founding member Krayzie Bone has announced that he is leaving the group to focus on his solo career and his record label, The Life Entertainment.

"I will no longer be part of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony," Krayzie revealed in his official 'Goodbye BTNH Update' video on Thursday morning (April 14).

"Due to uncontrollable circumstances, it's basically time for me to move on and start embarking on different endeavors that I've already had planned in my life," Krayzie Bone said. "[I'm trying] to go another level in this music game, and just trying to grow and become greater an what I do, and concentrate on the new generation of artists that I have and puttin' back into the up and coming artists, the new fresh talent that's coming about."

The group has undergone their share of ups and downs over their 20-year-history, losing Flesh to prison for over a decade and Bizzy to mental illness, before finally reuniting as a five-man group last year, and releasing a new album 'Uni5: The World's Enemy.'

Despite recently airing many of his grievances about the group's various behind-the-scenes battles, Krayzie said that he bears his former partners -- two of whom are his brothers -- no ill will. "It's been a great 20-year run with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, I have nothing to complain about," he explained.

Discovered by Eazy-E in 1993, Bone went on to shape the face of Midwest rap with their melodic, sing-song flows and rapid delivery, building an incredibly loyal fan base in a part of the country previously uncharted by hip-hop, working with everyone from Tupac, Biggie and Big Pun to Mariah Carey.

"I thank all the fans for supportin' me with Bone for over 20 years and I hope y'all will continue to support me on these future endeavors," Krayzie concluded. "It ain't nothin' but love. I love y'all. Thanks for all your support, thanks for everything you've done. We had some great times ... but it is what it is."

To everyone who's saying this isn't news and they don't care, you sure enough clicked on the article and decided to leave a comment. If you don't care, why are you clicking on the article? You obviousy have nothing better to do. Good luck Krazy, though I hate to see Bone split up...again!!

Its kinda funny how people make comments bout how they hate rap and how they could care less bout who is the topic in the the article. Question... If these people hate rap so much, the hell they reading the article for??? I'm not too fond of the Jersey shore so if AOL writes something bout Snooki my more than likely not gonna read it.

You rappers think you are so cool. And I suppose you are cool in a way. Namely the way you are trying to make your race extinct, that is. And for that solution I, and all of the world would like to thank you, because you would be relieving alot of racial tension. You see, if you keep spouting off that gansta crap and manage to convert enough of your people to follow you word for word, then before long your whole race will be stabbing, shooting, choking, and whatevering each other and before you know it, your race is gone. So you see? We, the world, would see the end of all the blacks and thereby all the racism involved between the blacks and the rest of all the other races. Big problem solved, so thanx for the mindless savagery, the promotion of racial anger, the bitter rivalry between yourselves and your rapper brothers. You couldn't have done a better job in ruining your race's reputation.

Why are all these people complaining on a site called THE BOOMBOX about news in the rap world? Did they notice the hip hop and r&b theme? If you don't like the music go to the other music sites.

My best wishes go out to him. It seems like he just wants to take control of his life on a positive note. Bone Thugs was my favorite rap group as a teen ager. It cracks me up when I read comments that say "this is breaking news?" or "who cares". No one said it was breaking news. You will not find this on the headlines of CNN. And if you don't care..well don't waste your time to read and comment. Move on :)

Bill,

The beauty of this world is that we all have different talents and there are different people to appreciate the various talents. Just because you do not care for this genre of music does not mean you have to be cruel. This world has so much beauty but the ugly destroys it for the rest of us. Grow up.
