After spending almost 10 years on Eazy E's Ruthless Records, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are officially off the label and are actively seeking a record deal.

"Most of the time we were on Ruthless, we were unhappy," Krayzie Bone stated. "We said we would do one more album with them and if they didn't market it and promote it, it would be the end of our careers."

According to Krayzie, the issues started after Eazy-E passed away in 1995 and the company was turned over to his wife, Tomika Woods-Wright.

"If Eazy were still alive, our careers and Ruthless would have taken a whole different direction," Krayzie continued. "He was a visionary, that's why he had so much success with his label. That's the problem, there was no vision over there."

And according to Bone, it was that lack of vision and contractual disputes that kept their careers on ice and prevented them from even releasing solo efforts.

"She had our solo deals, she had this and that. If we got deals for it she woulda got broke off. N*ggas was at the point where we wasn't trying to pay this b*tch for sh*t she didn't do."

After a meeting regarding their next album ended up in another contractual dispute, Woods-Wright simply offered to let the group go.

"Our fans may have thought it was us, but it wasn't us at all, it was label bullsh*t. Now that we are free, we feel like we felt when we first came into the game. We are ready to run with it."

And that positive momentum is something Krayzie said the group seeks to keep.

He said there was no animosity towards former group member Bizzy Bone, but they didn't want to do anything to bring any unnecessary issues into their group.

"Bizzy is doing his thing. If we bring any old problems, it's like being signed to Ruthless. Our whole career has been Krazy, Lazy and Wish. Bizzy hasn't really showed up for anything, except when it benefited him."

The group has recorded over 30 songs for their next untitled album and is actively seeking a home for their next project.

The group is in talks with Arista, Universal and other labels at the present time

Any smart label would take a chance with bone even though they do have some legal trouble. Who ever signs them will certainly have a platinum album under their belt

yeah but Bizzy was the talent in Bone........Krazy, Lazy an Wish....don't forget Flesh who is in and out of the pen....are all talented but Bizzy is what elevated the group from a gold selling group to platinum....they are all doing there thing but i think that now they will try and move foward and this could end up being an example of another great group torn apart by the greed and general stupidity of a label............i was under the assumption that Bizzy would re-join the group once they left Ruthless.......he'd said many times he just didn't see the point in showing up for shows if he wasn't being compensated.......plus there was a long running feud between himself and Tomika Wright............i wish the best for them and hope they continue making hot ish........but as a die hard Bone fan i see this as the beginning of the end for them..................so sad.........1

you ain't a die hard bone fan if you think this is the end

even i can see the writing on the wall just cuz i think they are the best dosen't mean i'm not realistic about things........................1

personally i dont like bone thugs, bizzy is pretty tight tho

If I had a label I wouldn't sign them cos there styles played out............................................... .................................................. .................................................. .....................................
