Bone Thugs-N-Harmony at The Canyon – Montclair

*Bone Thugs-N-Harmony* is one of the most successful 90s rap outfits to break into the mainstream. The group’s initial impact was astounding, even within a musical genre associated with a fast turnover of star acts. Their 1994 EP Creepin On Ah Come Up, featuring ‘Foe Tha Love Of $’, spent over 70 weeks on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart, and sold well over four million units. The following year’s E. 1999 Eternal went to number 1, selling over 330, 000 copies in its first week of release and subsequently becoming one of the bestselling rap albums of all time. The quintet’s popularity could be attributed to their appealing blend of vocal harmonies and tough street raps, as featured on the hugely successful singles ‘1st Of Tha Month’ and ‘Tha Crossroads’. Much of Stevie Wonder’s smooth R&B harmony style was brilliantly mixed with DJ U-Neek’s hardcore beats. The group has continued to release new material via mixtapes and albums throughout the 2000s. Other hits include: “Look Into My Eyes,” “Young Thugs,” “Rebirth,” and more.
