Krayzie Bone
Krayzie Bone (* 17th June 1974 in Cleveland , Ohio as Anthony Henderson ) is an American rapper . Henderson is also known under the names Kray Jack , Leather Face , Leatha Face or Sawed Off Gangsta . He is also a member of the group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and is known for his self-produced, fast hooks in a song.
Solo career
After he released the album The Art of War with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony in 1997, he began working on his first solo album Thug Mentality in 1999 . It was released in 1998 as a double CD with guest appearances and features by Marley Bros., Mariah Carey , Big Pun and Snoop Dogg . It reached number 4 on the US albums chart and number 2 on the R&B charts, and went platinum in the US .
The album Thug on da Line , which followed in 2001, was not quite as successful as the debut . It reached number 27 on the US charts and number 13 on the R&B hit list.
Since 2003, Krayzie Bone has been bringing out more underground and non- commercial songs such as The World Has Too Many Freaks in June 2004 on the Internet and thus has only less success. In 2005 his last album of this kind was released under the name Gemini: Good Vs. Evil released. The long player was ranked 69th on the US album charts and 19th on the R&B charts.
In 2006 he returned to the mainstream back as he in the song Spit Your Game of The Notorious BIG occurred. He also rapped a part of the remix of Mariah Carey's Don't Forget About Us with Juelz Santana . His biggest success is Ridin ' , a feature with Chamillionaire . The single sold so well in the United States that it went four times platinum.
Since 2009 a total of 4 episodes of the CD series The Fixtape have been released , all of which made it into the R&B charts.
