Bizzy Bone started his solo career in 1998. He is best known for his style, combining rapid fire raps and double - sometimes triple - harmony choruses. His debut, Heaven'z Movie made it obvious that on his own he felt free to explore his psyche and to go to eccentric places. The critically acclaimed album received a positive reception from Bone Thug fans and made it to #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and has been certified Gold by the RIAA.
Bizzy Bone became an underground artist and began releasing albums with little or no marketing. The Gift, released on April 7, 2001, peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Independent Albums chart.
In 2002 at a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony performance in New York City, Bizzy was noticeably drunk and walked off-stage halfway through the show and was later let go from the group that night, but Bizzy claimed he had been a solo artist for years and only a guest in the group .
In 2004 Alpha and Omega was released and fans responded positively to the album , influencing Bizzy to produce his own underground limited-edition album for the internet, The Beginning and the End, with at the time manager Rick Robinson aka Double R CEO and Founder of iMG Recordings & SFM Management. .
On May 2, 2005, Bizzy Bone made news when he displayed unusual behavior during an appearance on Houston's KPFT radio show, "Damage Control". When asked about it in an MTV interview a few months later he said, "Everybody thought I went crazy, they were questioning my motives and what was going on." He also stated he felt he was being antagonized during the interview and went into defense mode. He later admitted to having a drinking problem that he was working on, and that his family had attempted to have him committed to a mental health facility. It's been several years now since Bizzy's radio interview with KPFT. He is now back on his feet and once again a solo artist and former group member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony due to the group not agreeing with Bizzy making deals with Warner Bros on his own. They asked Bizzy to discontinue with the Uni5 tour as well as being in the group. He now works on his new solo project for 2011.
