Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Perform 1996 Hit ‘Tha Crossroads' on ‘Everybody's Live'
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony made an unexpected return to late-night television this week, appearing on Netflix's Everybody's Live With John Mulaney for a surprise performance of their 1996 hit 'Tha Crossroads.' The group's appearance came months after Mulaney revealed on-air that he had previously tried and failed to book them for the show. In April, the comedian shared that he had been tricked by someone pretending to be the group's manager while trying to arrange a bit involving actor Richard Kind and a pet tortoise. At the time, Mulaney jokingly pleaded with the real members of Bone Thugs to contact him and 'clear this up.'

During the latest episode, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony arrived following a skit in which a trio of 14-year-olds outmatched Mulaney. The group performed their chart-topping single 'Tha Crossroads' and awarded a wrestling belt trophy to the teens after the segment. Upon its release, 'Tha Crossroads' spent eight consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. The track, a tribute to the group's late mentor Eazy-E, remains their most commercially successful single to date. It also earned the group a Grammy Award for best rap performance by a duo or group and solidified their legacy as pioneers of melodic rap in the 1990s. The performance featured four members of the group, with Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone all taking the stage. Flesh-N-Bone was not present for the taping. Their appearance follows the release of 'Aww Shit' in April, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's first new single in nearly 15 years. The track features all five founding members and serves as the lead single from a forthcoming full-length album, according to Greenback Records. The group has also confirmed a run of live dates for summer 2025, including a slot at the Roots Picnic's Class of '95 at the Hollywood Bowl and appearances as part of the Kings of the West festival series. The Cleveland group has charted 10 songs on the Hot 100, including '1st of tha Month' (No. 14), 'Look into My Eyes' (No. 4), and 'If I Could Teach the World' (No. 20). Their 1995 album E. 1999 Eternal spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified quadruple platinum.

Krayzie Bone working to improve Glenville neighborhood with ‘Harmony District'
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) – Major improvements are expected to come to Cleveland's east side with construction that could begin sometime this year. The Harmony District is a mixed-use development spearheaded by Anthony Henderson, better known as Krayzie Bone, from Cleveland's own Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. He told FOX 8 the idea came from his Spread The Love foundation, which was used to help the citizens of the area. Now, Krayzie Bone wants to help the appearance of the part of Cleveland the world-famous hip-hop group traces its roots back to. That's the corridor of St. Clair Avenue at East 99th Street, which was coined Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way back in 2023. 'I feel like the people in this community deserve to see better. They deserve to live in a community that's flourishing,' he said. Nick Chubb era likely over in Cleveland: GM He explained how he asked people in the community what's needed, and they told him they need things like affordable housing and access to gas and groceries. Those types of projects are expected to come with the Harmony District, along with attractions for fans who visit Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way. Those plans include a Bone Thugs museum and a digital library of minority cultures. The project is said to blend economic development with cultural heritage. It's an idea Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb fully supports. 'The Harmony District presents an exciting vision for Glenville, and we're encouraged by its potential to celebrate local culture and generate inclusive economic growth. We look forward to continued conversations about how the city and community partners can support efforts that align with our shared goals for equitable development,' the mayor said in a statement. Krayzie Bone shared how this project is a way for him to give back to his hometown and be an example of doing the right thing at the same time. He said anyone who has a platform should step up in these types of scenarios. 'I was inspired to come back and not just give back, but build something here,' he said. 'We need to really start investing back in these communities and making them better, and I think everybody should feel obligated to do this once you have a platform and you're able to help because there's a lot of people out here that need help. I just want to be a source of help any way I can.' Local hospital visitors may have been exposed to measles There's no set construction start date, but Krayzie Bone believes residents in Glenville will be very pleased once they start seeing trucks rolling in and improvements being made. According to a release, initial funding commitments are secured. He added that it will take more than just him to see the Harmony District reach its full potential. 'It takes a community to build a community,' Krayzie Bone said. He will welcome anyone who wants to participate, donate or help in any way, he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
