Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's Old Stomping Grounds To Be Renamed "Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way"

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony will be in Cleveland on Friday (August 11), where the intersection of E. 99th Street and St. Clair Avenue will be renamed to “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way." Organized by the Spread the Love Foundation, Cleveland City Councilman Anthony Hairston and Ward 10, the street-naming ceremony takes place from noon to 2 p.m. local time.

Following the street-naming ceremony, Bone Thugs is expected to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later that evening. On Saturday (August 12), the group will hit the stage during the Glenville Festival at Sam Miller Park before joining LL COOL J’s The F.O.R.C.E. Tour at the Rocket Mortgage Field House. 

“Just to see all these things taking place is incredible,” Krayzie Bone recently told Rock The Bells. "Now is the time in our career where we’ve started to sit back and really take everything we've done in and recognize the foundation we've laid down. Other people are starting to recognize who did what and what we really did in this Hip-Hop industry. 

“I was never worried about receiving accolades or people not knowing what we brought to the business because it's all in due time. It’s going to come around for Bone. People ask me all the time, ‘Why people don’t show you no respect?’ I tell them I feel very respected in the industry. Just because people don’t mention our name in every best rapper list doesn’t mean the industry doesn’t respect us. When I come across all my peers, colleagues, other artists and celebrities, they all show Bone crazy love—from young to old. We don't have to be mentioned in every conversation to feel like we're being respected. I know the respect and love is there."
