BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY'S HISTORIC "UNI 5" LIVE REUNION CONCERT SHAKES LOS ANGELES, MAKING HIP HOP HISTORY
Los Angeles, California (December 1, 2008) – Last night, after much anticipation and excitement, history was witnessed as all 5 original members of the legendary hip hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony reunited on stage for the first time in over a decade and brought down the house at Los Angeles' Club Nokia.
After turning away hundreds at the door, only a lucky couple of thousand fans were able to witness last night's sold-out special occasion, which was truly unforgettable as Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Flesh-n-Bone, and Wish Bone shook the stage and fired up the excited audience with a rousing string of their classic hits from the past 15 years, including the Grammy Award-winning "Tha Crossroads," "Notorious Thugs," "I Tried," "1st of Tha Month," and many more. Fans went wild as the quintet performed hit after hit, demanding encore performances late into the middle of the night.
The group understands the significance of their historic reunion, stating, "Bone Thugs-N-Harmony coming together for the "Uni 5" album is a monumental movement for hip hop and family life in general. It shows that any obstacle can be overcome, and unity, love, and harmony are the best remedies; hence, the "Uni 5." The Bone legacy is here to stay!"
In an exclusive interview, Krayzie Bone states, "We are just like any real family-we fight and have disagreements, but at the end of the day, we are brothers, from our skin down to our Bones! Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will be a family, unit, team, and group always!" And after over 15 years as a group, this statement is truly undeniable.
"Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is authentic, and sits on Hip Hop's top shelf! They created a category over 15 years ago that they will always define. As long as there is a culture called HIP HOP that exists, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will always be welcomed and deemed relevant!" says Big Bob Francis, Chief Brand Engineer of Brand Engine and Brand Manager of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. He continues, "Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is a BRAND; they have the ability to sell their PRODUCT directly to their dedicated fans. Their new deal not only gives them the freedom to create and widely distribute the music that they feel and what they know their fans want, but also the ability to own their current and future master recordings! Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have signed the deal of their careers. The type of deal that every artist with staying power "dreams" about and most will try to duplicate. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Worldwide (the new BONE Label) will release the "Uni 5" album on June 30, 2009 to their extremely large and loyal fan base."
As the music industry continues to look to reach its consumers, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fans will have direct access to all content, merchandise, and exclusive information from the group's self-owned label.
Finally, special thanks are in order to those who truly contributed to the success of last night's event, including: Club Nokia; MC Chris Spencer; and up and coming artists, the Mo-Thugs Family, Mo Greene Ent's rapper Amazin', MySpace Records artist Bossman, teen rap sensation Lil' JJ, and rising R&B divas Phaedra and Felecia, who culminated the show with a special cover of "We Are Family" in honor of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and their fans for the stirring grand finale.
