Artist: Bone Thugs N Harmony

Album: T.H.U.G.S.

Label: Ruthless Records

When this album hit the shelves, there wasn't even any promotion or advertisement; you just had to see it in the stores. I'm not quite sure if this is even considered Bone official, because as you know they left Ruthless a while back. Either way, apparently Ruthless held out on us with this unreleased material from an undisclosed year. They released it directly from the lab and the album is definitely reminiscent of the original Bone we all grew up on, especially if you're Old School Bone, you know what I mean. This hit the billboards top 200 on first week sales ranking in at number 73 selling 15,200 units. One of the best things is that all four original members are on the album with the producers that made Bone.

So Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, and Wish unofficially reunite for this one time album in T.H.U.G.S. If you're not familiar with the acronym, T.H.U.G.S., it stands for Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls, the whole gimmick they were on since Creepin' on Ah Come Up. With veteran producers DJ U-Neek, Rick Rock, L.T. Hutton, this is the real Bone Thugs N Harmony that we all know and vibe to. As soon as you pop in the CD, you begin hearing all four members talking to a crowd on a live set with that nostalgic thought; it was like they never fell apart. Next track Unstoppable, definitely ends any doubt because as soon as the beat hits the speakers, you already know, that's that original Bone. Honestly, just let the whole album flow, if you're a true Bone fan, you'll see what I'm talking about. I would mention most notables, but it would be the whole damn album.

My opinion, cop the album, reminisce on what Bone Thugs N Harmony use to be and need to get back to. The style, the flow is still there, and it's amazing to hear Bizzy back on the track alongside the other Bone Thugs. The new material is well worth it, from the beats to the lyrics. Throw on the CD and just vibe.
