| DESCRIPTION: | Bizzy seems to be the most mysterious Bone figure. He tends to come off as someone you just don't wanna mess with. One might even describe him as frightening, and he sometimes looks as a man might if he were possessed. He is probably the most difficult of the thugs to understand. He is quick tongued, and tends to "whine" his raps. In some instances he raps entire verses in a high-pitch mumble. He tends at times to seem to be wandering in his raps, but other times he delivers lyrics with surprisingly detailed descriptions and colorful word choices. |

| OTHER ALIASES: |
Leatherface, Mr. Sawed-Off Leatherface, K-Bone, Krayzie Big Badass Bone. |
| REAL NAME: | Anthony Henderson. |
| DESCRIPTION: | Krayzie seems to be the most soft-spoken of the group, often seeming to be lost in his own thoughts and very contemplative. Layzie has referred to him as "the silent killer." He is extremely well-rounded in his music: he probably raps the quickest out of all the Bone members, and at times unleashed amazing barrages of quick verse after quick verse. However, he varies his style. He slows down at times, and has even proven himself a formidible singer, providing background vocals and choruses for many Bone songs (especially on The Art of War). His raps are often colorful and descriptive. Krayzie also produces for Mo Thugs (lending his talents to II Tru on their album A New Breed of Females, and also to the Poetic Hustla'z, producing half of their album Trials and Tribulations), and has a solo album called Thug Mentality. |
| KNOWN FAMILY: |
Krayzie has a daughter named Destiny. Information is sketchy--he may have another child. |
| NAME: | Layzie Bone. |
| A.K.A.: | The #1 Assassin. |
| OTHER ALIASES: | #1, #1 Assassin, Lil' Lay, Lay, Lay Bone, Lil Lay Bone, Layzie the Kid, (also once went by the name Bizzy). |
| REAL NAME: | Steven Howse. |
| DESCRIPTION: | Unofficial head of the group, Bone thugs-n-harmony, Layzie also tends to serve as the group's spokesperson. He seems to be very laid back and cool. His lines are consistenly quick, usually stringing together a long series of rhymes, seemingly never taking a moment to catch his breath. In addition to rapping, he also produces for Mo Thugs. |
| KNOWN FAMILY: |
Layzie has an older brother, Stanley
Howse (Flesh-n-Bone), who is a part time member of Bone
thugs-n-harmony. His cousin, Charles Scruggs (Wish
Bone), is also a member. Layzie has another brother named Stewart. Layzie had a boy, Babi Boi Angel Howse, who died at an early age due to lung problems. He also has a son named Jeremy. Layzie's fathers name may be Curtis. |

| NAME: | Wish Bone. |
| A.K.A.: | Stratejacket |
| OTHER ALIASES: |
Strate. |
| REAL NAME: |
Charles Scruggs. |
| DESCRIPTION: | Wish Bone is the largest member of the group, physically. Where the other three could be considered thin or lanky, he is somewhat pudgy. He seems to be somewhat the opposite of Krayzie; whereas Krayzie is soft-spoken, Wish seems to speak his mind when he wants to, being very vocal. If there was any Bone member that could be described as sounding like an East or West Coast rapper, it would be Wish. Although quick-tongued, he is likely the slowest rapper of the group. |
| KNOWN FAMILY: |
Wish is cousin to Steve, Stewart, and
Stanley Howse, the first two better known as Layzie and
Flesh-n-Bone, respectively. His mother's name is Sweet No, and has three sisters, Looney Lynn, Shon, and Monie Wish has a son named Charles III. Wish's uncle Charles passed away several years ago, and is paid tribute in "Crossroad" and "Tha Crossroads". |
| CRIMINAL RECORD: |
Arrested for possession of a nine
millimeter handgun. Wish Bone arrested at a Cleveland strip club for allegedly slapping a stripper. He was charged with aggravated disorderly conduct, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, and was released on bail. |
