Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, the legendary Cleveland-based hip-hop group, is gearing up to celebrate three decades of music. Despite not releasing new music since 2017 and not touring since 2022, the five-person group has announced they plan a celebration. On May 10, Layzie Bone took to Instagram to confirm that something would happen very soon. According to the post, the group will celebrate their 30th anniversary on June 23, commemorating the release of their hit single “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” in 1994. The post was accompanied by a video in which Layzie Bone reflected on the group’s history, mentioning some of the iconic artists they have worked with over the years, including Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, and Bow Wow.
The announcement has caused quite a stir among fans, who have been eagerly waiting for new music or tour dates. However, Layzie Bone did not reveal any details about what the celebration will entail. He stated, “We’re going to do it again” on the 30th anniversary but didn’t specify whether the group would be recording new music, releasing an album, or performing a live show. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is no stranger to conflict and turmoil, having experienced many ups and downs with members coming and going over the years. The group’s last tour was marketed as a “farewell tour,” wherein all five members performed together. It’s unclear whether the 30th-anniversary celebration will feature all members or if some will sit it out.
Despite the uncertainty, fans are excited to see what the future holds for Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. The group’s music has profoundly impacted the hip-hop genre, and their legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists.
