bizzy.jpgBizzy Bone, formerly of the group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, has reportedly inked a solo deal with Virgin Records. Although Bizzy has kept busy since his departure from the group, releasing several solo projects since 1998s Heaven’z Movie, his debut album with Virgin will be the first such project distributed by a major label. The disc, entitled A Song For You, is due out in early 2007 and will be released in conjunction with Imperial Records, a division of Caroline/EMI Music. As a member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Bizzy received a Grammy Award for the group’s multiplatinum smash single “Crossroads.” He has also been honored by ASCAP, the American Music Awards and the Soul Train Awards.

  • http://BTNHBOARD.COM Bizzyseventhsign

    this is just what bizzy needs…a big album deal…now that he knows there’s still BIG labels looking at hime it should bring the best out of him. It’s not whether bizzy still has it or not cause he does, its all about being consistent going back to his classic angelic/rap/sing style that helped Bone reach a platinum status back in the 90′s

  • matt

  • Nugget

    For those of you who claim to be “hip hop fans”…if you don’t like Bizzy then you really ain’t and you don’t know s*** about hip hop. Bizzy is the realest cat in the game. F*** all these bulls***in’ cats like 50 Cent, G-Unit, Young Joc, etc…they know nothin about this industry and what it was made for and they’re all full of s***. Bizzy and BTNH are real…can’t wait to hear this I know Bizzy’s gon’ rip it on this next album!

  • EE

    Bizzy is that bomb ass sticky, knock you on your ass, chronic flow. His new album will be as wonderful as the rest. All you haters can take a cock to the dome.

  • Illiss

    That is certainly my dude, fuck all the haterz criticizin’ Bizzy. The boys got personality, flow, ill rhymes, the whole fuckin package. I’ve been a BTNH fan since the beginning. Hopefully major record distribution can give him the light he deserves.

    Man he’s the only Bone Thug member that didn’t sell out, the whole industry blackballs him thats why he’s the best rapper n still aint getting paid. He’s str8 up Gangsta for still sticking wit rap dropping like five albums in 1 year for the ghetto media cause he’s one of the only rappers that still loves music more than money!!! He deserves this shyt!!!

  • T.j.

    plus him n Krayzie are the only members that can pull it off Solo, people hate on him cause of his decision to go solo, but if u listen to his solo music its fucking awesome!!! People just don’t wanna believe that cause everyone wants BTH together again, as do i, but they’r all rapping bout girls and being playas and shyt, industry yung joc bullshyt music now n it sux!!!
