BIZZY BONE BIOGRAPHY: (See below for other member bio's)
Bizzy Bone, the youngest member of Bone Thugs, was born Bryon McCane on September 12, 1976, in Columbus Ohio, USA. He was born to parents Roseana, and Rober Floyd, however he considered Byron Carlos, his Step father, to be his father, sadly he passed away in 1997, which caused Bizzy to react slightly different, negatively, towards Bone Thugs and also influenced his later album lyrics. Bizzy Bone is confirmed to be half Italian and half Black, with his mother been the Italian. Bizzy started life in turbulance when he was abducted by his half-sister's father when he was just four years old, his 4 siblings are by the names Heather, Hope, Capo, and Cassy and he relates to them in many of his lyrics. Bizzy Bone recored his first album at age 17 and back in the early 90's before Jay-Z became who he is today he battled Bizzy Bone and lost. (No Confirm From Jay-Z however!!). Another triumph for Bizzy is that "Thug Luv" on the album "Art of War" featuring Bone Thugs and 2pac, was originally a track with Bizzy Bone, 2Pac and Silk-E-Fyne. The track was later redone to add the other members of Bone thugs-n-harmony on it.
One thing you may not have known, or expected, is that Bizzy has SEVEN (yes 7) children, from three different women. Three girls and two boys are from a girl he was with in high school. Another girl is from another women that he was married to. His last child who is also a girl, is from another different women. Plus, unlike most rappers, he is a committed father to his kids. But to no suprise, due to his past and current stressfull life, Bizzy Bone has admitted he has been to a psychiatrist a few times.
As for music, Bizzy Bone is the most unique member of Bone thugs-n-harmony, and has had his pop at a solo career. Bizzy made his solo debut in 1998 with "Heaven'z Movie". Then he followed up that album in 2001 and released of "The Gift", probably one of my favourite albums of all time!! Both albums would go on and do pretty well giving Bizzy a solid solo career. Three years later and Bizzy is back again with his third solo album "Alpha & Omega". The album shows Bizzy's diversity and brings a new style never heard from Bizzy. He has also become an established actor in an independant film release.
Now for the rare random facts you may not have known about Bizzy; he is known to have four tattoo's, on his Left and Right Arm, Left Shoulder and his Neck, his favourite film is known to be "Goodfellas", and his favourite food is Steak & Potatoes. Aswell as his more popular alias of "Bizzy Bone" he is known as, B.B., Gambini, Rest In Peace, R.I.P., Lil' RIPsta, Bizzy The Kid, and Gambino.

In March of 2001 he relesed his debut solo album, "Thug By Nature" which become a solid good first album. Layzie Bone named his album "Thugs By Nature" because he felt he was a thug by nature. He said he is not trying to be a thug and that he was born a thug. "Thugs By Nature" had a lack of Bone collabs because they were all working on their albums at the same time. Layzie has also presented the Mo' Thugs Family, a wide and revolving roster of Cleveland area urban artists, on his Mo' Thugs records.

Unfortunately, the album didn't live up to some peoples expectations, receiving not so good reviews. In September, weeks before the release of his second album "5th Dog Let Loose", Flesh was sentenced to 11 years in jail for threatening a friend with an AK-47.
