NEW
YORK (Ball'r / Thug Line) Rapper Krayzie Bone of the Grammy
Award-winning hip-hop group
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is set to release his
new solo album, "Gemini: Good vs. Evil", on February 8th, as a joint
venture between Ball'r Records and his own record company, Thugline
Records. The album marks Krayzie Bone's third solo release and follows
1999's platinum double-disc set "Thug Mentality 1999" and 2001's gold
album "Thug On Da Line."
Featuring guest appearances by fellow
Bone Thug members Wish Bone, Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone, the album is
backed by the production of multi-platinum producer Li'l Jon, L.T
Hutton (Snoop Dogg, Crooked I), Fred Wreck (Kurupt, Everlast) and 5150
Productions (Pen Dragons), among others. The first single from the
album, "Get'cha Twisted", is produced by Li'l Jon and "[makes] Twista
sound sluggish", according to
David Jeffries of the All
Music Guide.
"Krayzie rattles off one his most aggressive raps...["Get'cha Twisted"
is] one of the greatest singles ever to come out of the house of Bone"
writes Jeffries.
The
video - shot in the back alleys and tenaments of Cleveland, Ohio - is
eerily reminiscent of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's early days when they burst
on to the scene in 1994 with their hit "Thuggish Ruggish Bone." Bone
Thugs-n-Harmony went on to sell over 30 million records in North
America alone. A remix of "Get'cha Twisted" featuring the rest of Bone
Thugs-N-Harmony is also included on the album. Also included with the
album is a DVD which features footage from Krayzie Bone in the studio
and in concert with the rest of the Bone Thug family. "Gemini: Good vs.
Evil" is being distributed by BMG/Artist Direct.
Krayzie Bone is also excited about the launch of the website for his record label, Thugline Records, located at
www.thuglinerecords.com. The site features exclusive audio, information and interviews with members of the record label.
Thugline
Records has also launched a contest to promote the site. Fans will get
a chance to design the opening flash intro to the site. The winner of
the contest not only gets their name and intro featured on the site,
but will also receive a copy of "Gemini: Good vs. Evil" autographed by
Krayzie Bone and a "Sippin' on a 40" maxi-single by Bone
Thugs-N-Harmony mentor Eazy-E.
