Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Eazy-E share more history than some may realize. Even though their styles and backgrounds were different, Eazy played a crucial role in giving the Cleveland rap group national attention. After persistently calling his office, the late rapper finally returned their call and agreed to hear them out.
At the time, Bone Thugs had taken a one-way bus trip to Los Angeles, hoping for a breakthrough. Krayzie Bone was asked to rap over the phone on the spot, and he impressed Eazy-E so much that he ended up signing the group to Ruthless Records in 1993.
Through the label, they released several projects and built not only a strong partnership but also a friendship with the N.W.A legend. Sadly, just a couple of years later, Eazy passed away. Even three decades after his death, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony continue to honor the man who gave them their start.
September 7 marked what would have been Eazy-E’s 61st birthday. To celebrate him, the group teamed up with his son, Lil Eazy-E, to create a heartfelt tribute song.
The track, Eazy, premiered on the group’s YouTube channel and carries plenty of emotion. Its accompanying video heightens the impact, blending powerful new visuals with iconic moments from Eazy-E’s life.
In the description of the video, Bone Thugs wrote, “This release is more than just a song — it’s a celebration of the man who believed in Bone Thugs-n-Harmony from the start. On September 7th, Eazy-E’s birthday, we honor his legacy and remember that it was 30 years ago when Eazy signed Bone to Ruthless Records, forever changing hip-hop history.”
