During the mid-1990s, Bone Thugz N Harmony helped keep the waning Ruthless Records afloat. After dominating the late 1980s, the record label founded by Eazy-E hit hard times. Key members Dr. Dre and Ice Cube had left for new opportunities.

Had it not been for Bone Thugz N Harmony, Ruthless Records would have likely fallen apart before Eazy-E's death. The group posted several hits with the label before leaving. Following their run during the mid-1990s, Bone Thugz were also done, for the most part.

Krayzie Bone pulled off an unexpected comeback when he was featured on Chamillionaire's "Ridin'." While the song did little to continue Cham's career, it helped launch a Bone Thugz comeback with Full Surface Records.

Four years following the last Bone Thugz N Harmony album, Krayzie Bone has decided he no longer wants to be a part of the group. The decision is nothing personal and Krayzine Bone will continue to work with the group. However, he wants to focus more on his solo ventures and his own career, as opposed to always being a part of the group.
