Bone Thugs-N-Harmony pioneered R&B-inflected gangsta soul in the mid-’90s, when ears were busy being tickled by the sweet seduction of G-funk. Fusing hard rap with vocal harmonies, the group scored a 1995 smash with E. 1999 Eternal, then produced diminishing returns afterward. The loss of two prominent members didn’t help—Bizzy Bone (kicked out) and Flesh-N-Bone (imprisoned on gun charges). With Flesh-N-Bone finally released after almost a decade of incarceration and a reported reconciliation with Bizzy, the group is supposedly working on a new album due out this year.
