Bone Thugs N Harmony Interview

After a new millennium that saw one of the best selling rap groups of the 90s in limbo, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have reunited-all five of them.

With a reunion tour and a new album in the works, the Brothers Bone have been low key when it comes to media appearances. However, Flesh recently started dropping his thoughts on some serious topics such as jail and gang violence. The Fifth Dawg served nearly eight years in prison after a weapons and probation violation.

“Prison teaches you everything,” Flesh said. “Life outside keeps going, and you have to keep going as well – spiritually, mentally and physically. I had to make a transition into the growing-up phase.”

While locked down, the rapper said he took up a number of vocations to pass the time and learn new skills. “I had to make the decision to do something positive and focus my energies on learning a trade. I took landscaping, dry cleaning, brick masonry, silk screening – about seven or eight trades. And I stayed productive with my music, reading the Bible and the Quran, studying and just staying busy.”

When the subject turned to gangs, Flesh pulled no punches, calling the violence a “plague” and offered some words of advice to those who opt for the allure of the streets over an education.

“It’s the worst plague or black eye that this world has ever seen,” he said. “When gang violence was launched in California, it was intended to protect the community of the people involved, then turned into something deadly. I completely shun it, man – it’s childish, a false hope. If gangs were more in tune with education, and encouraging members to get bachelor’s degrees instead of picking up guns, they might understand the true meaning of love, loyalty and family.”

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s next effort, “Uni5,” is due out next summer.

Flesh N Bone Released from prison

After almost 10 years behind bars Stanley “Flesh N Bone” Howse is now officially a free man. The 34-year-old rapper, who was originally sentenced to twelve years for threatening a friend with an AK 47, was released from his California penitentiary early yesterday morning (June 13) to the waiting arms of family and friends which included Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy and Wish Bone.
This now marks the first time that all five of the original members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have been together in over a decade.
Upon his release Flesh-N-Bone wasted no time getting back to work. All five Bone members instantly hit the studio to begin work on their upcoming album, which is expected to be released on Interscope through a joint venture with Swizz Beatz’ Full Surface imprint. The album will be the follow up to the 2007′s gold selling Bone album Strength and Loyalty which only featured three of the original quintet due to Flesh’s imprisonment and Bizzy Bone being shown the door. Bizzy Bone also reconciled and recently reunited with the group, officially making the group a quintet again.
Flesh is also expected to start working on his third solo album and will begin looking for a label home in the coming weeks. The Cleveland born rapper enjoyed his best success with his 1996 Def Jam release entitled T.H.U.G.S. which went on to be certified Gold later that year.
