RECORD REPORT
BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY
Strength & Loyalty
Full Surface/Interscope
Production: Swizz Beatz, Akon, Jermaine Dupri, will.i.am, The Individuals, Others
(4 MICS)

It’s been several years since Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fans have had something to cheer about. But with outstanding production and stellar variety, their latest endeavor, Strength & Loyalty, is sure to enthuse longtime followers and attract new ones too, as BTNH (sans Bizzy and Flesh) have recaptured the dark magic that helped them garner their multi-platinum success and put Cleveland on the rap map more than a decade ago.

Right out the gate. The now-trio of Layzie, Krayzie, and Wish lace their rapid-fire delivery to explosive beats on “Flow Motion” and “Bumps in the Trunk,” both produced by highly touted newcomers The Individuals. Swizz Beatz lends his golden touch to “Candy Paint,” a rider’s ode to Caddy’s, Impalas, and Cutlasses. Elsewhere, Mariah Carey and Bow Wow help Bone offer a softer, radio-friendly track with “Little Love,” while The Game and will.i.am rekindle the group’s Compton connection on “Streets.”

Although it’s been five years since their last album Thug World Order, BTNH still try to stick to what has worked for them in the past. The group’s first single “I Tried,: features Akon and displays BTNH’s trademark introspective and poignant side, while songs like “9mm” take listeners back to their older, mo’ murderous days. Simply stated, this is probably BTNH’s most mature and complete album. Though some question whether they can succeed without what was thought to be a vital member, Strength & Loyalty should prove that Bone is strong enough to carry the weight as is.
