• Bone Thugs-N-Harmony New Album Update from Krayzie Bone: Rethinking Million-Dollar Idea

    Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's influence cannot be understated. The popular triplet cadence revitalized by Migos's "Versace" and subsequently used in an abundance of tracks since was first popularized by Bizze Bone, WIsh Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Flesh-N-Bone of the massively popular Cleveland group. The group has been called "the most melodic hip-hop group of all time" and has been named as one of the 25 best rap groups. The group has sold millions of albums and has racked up Grammy awards for their heartfelt, melody-driven approach to hip-hop. Last year, Krayzie Bone told HipHopDX that the group was planning on releasing an album entitled East 1999 Legends, an homage to their track "East 1999" from their second album, of which only one copy will be made and sold for over one million dollars. Now, the Cleveland group is rethinking this strategy, though they will release new music in the future.

  • Flying Lotus Shares Doom Collaboration 'Masquatch' From 'Grand Theft Auto V' [LISTEN]

    Just yesterday, experimental hip-hop producer Flying Lotus shared a new track from the upcoming re-release of Grand Theft Auto V called "Medication Meditation," featuring Krayzie Bone. Today, FlyLo is back with "Masquatch," another weird yet incredible song from the soundtrack, featuring underground hip-hop visionary DOOM (a.k.a. MF DOOM, a.k.a. Viktor Vaughn, a.k.a. King Geedorah). The track's extremely brief running time (it comes it under two minutes) is reminiscent of DOOM's classic Madlib collaboration Madvillain, and its abstract, hookless production wouldn't sound out of place on their Madvillainy LP.

  • Flying Lotus Shares New Song 'Medication Meditation' Feat. Krayzie Bone from 'GTA 5' [LISTEN]

    Yesterday, Nov. 18, saw the re-release of "Grand Theft Auto V" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and among its many new features are 162 new songs across its 17 fictional radio stations. Today, experimental hip-hop producer Flying Lotus shared one of his contributions to the game's new soundtrack, a moody and intense track titled "Medication Meditation" featuring Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, which you can check out below but the artwork above. The track is a stark difference from FlyLo's most recent album "You're Dead!" Instead of being highly complex and jazz-inflected, this is much more traditionally hip-hop, in no small part due to Krayzie Bone's wildly energetic verses. Being a Flying Lotus track, however, it still does not sound anything like your typical 2014 hip-hop single.
