Born to an African American/Indian father and an Italian/Jewish mother, Bizzy Bone started in hip-hop as a founding member of the group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Formed in 1993, this Cleveland-based crew first caught the ear of N.W.A. member Eazy-E.
Their trademark double and triple-time sung/rapped harmonies brought something new to the table at a time when most acts were busy trying to imitate what was featured on Dr. Dre's The Chronic. The unique sound prompted multi-platinum record sales, won them a Grammy, and brought the spotlight to the long-neglected Midwestern hip-hop community.
As a solo performer, Bizzy Bone is well known for his high-speed rhyme style and unique singing abilities. Continually writing and recording around the clock, he released his first solo album in 1998, the personal and introspective Heaven'z Movie. After receiving critical acclaim, Bizzy went on to write and release The Gift in 2001, Alpha and Omega in 2004, and The Beginning and the End, also in 2004, For The Fans vol. 1 and vol. 2 in 2005, The Story, Thugs Revenge, The Midwest Cowboy, and From Your Righteousness in 2006. His latest album Ruthless was released on March 4th 2008.
Bizzy's work has been awarded by numerous respected groups, including an ASCAP Award, the Michael Jackson Soul Train Award, a Blockbuster Award, an American Music Award, and the NAACP - Back To School/Stay in School Youth Rally Award. He has become a member of Hip Hop's elite, collaborating with modern hip-hop legends such as P Diddy, Snoop Dogg, as well as the late Eazy-E, 2Pac, and The Notorious B.I.G..

Well let me take you to my hood, my hood
Well let me take you to my hood, my hood
Well let me take you to my hood, my hood
Well let me take you to my hood, my hood
(Come on baby let's rock this shit, come on)
It's been bitter sweet, so complete, I'm still with ya
Hear me you know I hear you, I feel you heavenly father
Time goes time flows, real water
Well baby just shine for me, send a bunch of angels to your rescue
(E the elo hinds?) it's him trough the sins
Never dismiss you, god is the realest love that I've lorded
I came back from a walk like (daddyyyyyy) you will be known
You will be owed to the ozone layer
Could you take me to the strip club, my cup, cause baby you a player
You tell em that I love em, n I need em, let's stick together
When hell tries to break the love, say a prayer
Making it better
In or out of, this is the way that we talk
This is the way that we walk
Baby war that I got
I say we sing for me, do your thing for me
Cause Eden is good
Well let me take you to my hood, now come into my hood
("This dude on the bus n shit, who was fucking with me cause I was young, And you know what I'm saying, Flesh uh, stood his ass up, Flesh is like the person you know what I'm saying, Nigga about 15 years in prison, N he still doing prison time. Flesh sat is ass down, pulled his seat back! poww! On the dude that really is a big motherfucker, dude didn't say a motherfucking thing".)
I stroll down memories the light will guide you
Honor your mother, honor your father right beside you
Hide you never 9-12 September
You ain't sucking nothing but a bottle of beer I respect cha
Forever, do you know forever?
Whenever we leave they might cry, shit baby they better
It's cold, I need a sweater, you bold when it's cold
And The Story ain't told, confess your sins they owed
Anything for the truth, baby raise the roof
A little doctor, doctor, breaking em off proper
Prosper, prosper spot yourself
And everybody else
Settle for nothing but the best
You need some help, just call I'll be right there with you
It ain't no fussing or fighting and I won't hit you
Huh you need some help, just call, I'll be right there with you
It ain't no fussing or no fighting n I won't hit you
("Krayzie Bone, I love that dude n he's always been like my favorite rapper, when we were walking the streets it was just him n I together, we were the only people that would walk when everybody else was in the house, my people said he couldn't stay over there, he didn't want to go to his house, So we walked the streets n we drink Power-Master the entire night, I don't know if you remember that Coltttt-45, so it was a beautiful thing")
Lord when I'm walking, I'm knowing that your walking right with me
You defend me, n you mend me even when I get tipsy
Kinda crazy in the battlefield, still you with me
You never tempt me never hurt me
I'll be dirty for you, I be pertty for you, I go trough 40 for you
I praise Jesus that's the real man, you my boo
Brainwave no discussion for gussing n plenty love
Lil Bone Thugs N Harmony help from up above
It's the test of the flesh, confusion testing my rep
So what? that's me, I did it I got the whelps
N I weep n I weft
N my lips be clef, Now watch yourself, now watch your step
Now gimme a hug my love
Baby I love you without a question or a doubt in my mind
Drink wine, just chill you real less dying
Steak, shrimp n lobster n chicken even linguine I can feel you
I know that I need you n plus I'm needed
("One time, (P'd left my ass?) P took me to New-York, he took me to a casino, n I had the opportunity to battle Jay-Z, N Damon Dash was there and I said Krayzie Bone was here, and we was battling for 30 dollars, dude said "I ain't never heard no shit like this before, take the money".
