The absurdly fast rhyming of Bone Thugs has a new home at Swizz Beatz’s Full Surface record label under the Interscope imprint. The group is said to be focused on releasing their first LP with their new label later this year.
Swizz recently told the group he wanted to resurrect their careers and has now forged a relationship in what may lead to a perfect marriage with Swizz’s notoriously up-tempo production.

“At first we were going to sign with J Records, because that’s who Swizz’ label was under, but Swizz’ deal ran up with J Records,” said Krayzie Bone. ”Then other people started hearing that we were working with Swizz Beatz and started making offers, and Interscope was one of the biggest offers that came through.”
The biggest offer will reportedly offer the best production the group has seen in years, including, Swizza himself, Kanye “Everywhere” West, Lil’ Jon, Grammy Award Winning, Three 6 Mafia, Big Boi and president of Aftermath, Dr. Dre. (Where’s Detox??)
Now as to who will be on the final roster for the group, it’s yet to be seen being that one of BTNH‘s members, Flesh-N-Bone is serving an eleven year sentence in a California prison on various gun charges and is up for parole in 2008.
The album is said to feature new lyrics from the imprisoned member.

The rest of the group, Wish, Layzie and Krayzie plan to begin recording in Arizona later next week and Krayzie Bone assures fans their will be a hit single ready for radio as soon as they have it done, “way before the album comes out.” “Gotta get a head-start on the competition out there.”
One key ingredient missing will be Bizzy Bone, after several incidents gaining criticism from the media and the other members including an event at the BB King Blues Club in New York City.
Krayzie said this of the situation, “We’re cool [with Bizzy], but as far as speaking to him, I’m not sure if anyone can have a regular conversation with him right now, right now I guess he’s going through whatever he’s going through in life. Whenever he wants to come back he can come back. Ain’t gonna be no dis songs about him or nothin’ like that. We’re still family.”
Along with the release of their album, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are doing what every artist in the world is doing and starting their own new clothing line called, what else, The Line, in addition to Krayzie’s sneaker brand, TL Classics.
