Bone Thugs, who haven't recorded an album as a group since their 2000 release BTNH: Resurrection; is promising fans that they will get a dose of the old Bone Thugs, but also a taste of the new and improved vets, who have come to do one thing…give fans great music.

“With the contributions we have made through songs, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will live forever in music.” Krayzie said in a statement. “We've made our mark in history and to me that is the most valuable thing.”

The group will launch the tour on March 24 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and plan to touch down in various cities in the Northeast and Midwest before winding the tour down in Phoenix, Arizona on May 2nd.

In addition to kicking off a tour, the group has also announced that the Uni5: The World's Enemy, will hit store shelves on April 27th.

As a group, Bone has sold over 30 million records. Label woes, incarceration and drug use plagued the group for years, but Layzie Bone is confident the group is stronger than ever.

"You go through things to make you stronger.  All your obstacles, all the things you go through that don't seem positive at that particular time are only to get you ready for your next phase of life.”

Uni 5: The World's Enemy was originially scheduled to drop in December but has been pushed back to March. Speaking of the new album which will feature all 5 members including Flesh, Kyayzie Bone elaborated with Hip-Hop Wired exclusively on the concept of the album saying,

“Flesh was locked up for ten years, he just came home. As everybody knows Bizzy Bone was away from us for a while. Flesh came home and we just felt the need…it was going to happen regardless. We felt the need to come back together and give the world that Bone magic that we brought to the world years earlier. It was like a must. The whole concept of the album, Uni5: The World's Enemy… the unifying came from us being back unified and the world enemy concept came from we always felt like we was always outcasts. Being apart from whatever was going on in the world or what everybody else was doing. It also has a spiritual meaning, being no part of the world. It's a lot of different meanings of it.”

Flesh-N-Bone also spoke about his prison stint for an assault with a deadly weapon and how the process was getting back into the mix with his brothers.

“It was something that while I was away I was avail to the resources that we had in there. I was never out of the loop with respect to my artistry, being creative. I was able to do music, write music, write the beats and be active for the most part and develop my craft. I had a lot of time to sit and develop me, work on, what I consider…what I'm on this earth to do. I was able to concentrate a whole lot on that so the transition from the pen to out here was fairly simple, because my cell was my booth, literally.

I had my own cell hooked up like a studio. And it was like that for the whole time I was down so when I came home and got in the studio it was like I never left. No problem whatsoever. It wasn't about trying to find nothing, it was already there. The only thing that I had to develop was me and the guys being back together collaborating and getting used to each other's energies and our vibes again.”

Check out the new single here from the mixtape "Break Up To Make Up" which explains their trials and tribulations and still maintaining love for each other.

The beating took place in Universal City, California in a hotel early this year in January.  The group of burglars came into Bizzy's hotel room where they admitted to beating and chocking him while stealing his jewelry.

Contradicting to his actions, when Jones was arrested he was actually employed in a city sponsored anti-gang program known as “Unity One.”  According to the L.A. Times,

“Jones, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of burglary, in addition to admitting that his actions were done to benefit a street gang.”

Jones' crew was not let off the hook however and received lengthy sentences as well.  Ricky Pearson was sentenced to 19 years, Vanquan Knott was sentenced to 11 years, and Markiece Goss was sentenced to six years in prison.

This is not the only reason Bizzy has appeared in court lately, Bizzy was recently sentenced to court ordered drug rehab, which will prevent him from promoting a lot of Bone Thugs' new album Uni 5:  The World's Enemy, dropping December 22nd. 

I guess they told Bizzy they didn't want to “See Him Shine.”
