A member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, rapper Krayzie Bone was born Anthony Henderson in Cleveland, OH; also known as Leatherface, the Sawed-Off Gangsta, he joined Bone Thugs in 1993, debuting a year later with the EP Creepin on Ah Come Up. Subsequent LPs, including 1995's E 1999 Eternal and 1997's The Art of War, launched the group to rap superstardom, and as the decade drew to its close Krayzie Bone issued his solo debut, Thug Mentality 1999. Inner demons and life on the street were the main topics of 2001's Thug on da Line. The follow-up, Gemini: Good vs. Evil, was originally slated for a 2004 release but was delayed till early 2005 when Krayzie got to the oppurtunity to record some tracks for the album with his old crew members Wish Bone and Bizzy Bone. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
