Bone Thugs n Harmony at HOB 2nite??! Yes.

It's been eight long years since all five members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony recorded an album together. Flesh-n-Bone spent most of the past decade behind bars, and Bizzy Bone left the group owing to "creative differences." The gang is back together and ready to drop its latest album,Uni5: The World's Enemy, in late May. In honor of this reunion, BTNH will be touring 34 cities this spring — quite a testament to the loyalty of their fans. The quintet from Cleveland has long been known for its tongue-twisting verses and harmonic hooks, which were refreshingly unique and trend-setting in the '90s. With multiple awards and a catalog of classics like "Tha Crossroads" under its belt, anticipation of the upcoming project is running as high as ever.
