As Layzie, Krayzie, and Wish of Bone Thugs and Harmony prepare their comeback, former group member Bizzy Bone is on a trail of his own. *Walk In My Shoes allowed Bizzy to literally walk in the shoes of a homeless person. The experience changed the Bone Brother’s life forever*. "Wandering in my desolate state, I had an overwhelming desire to surrender myself,” he says of the trek. “My journey then became spiritual and my relationship with God was personal, between me and him." *Bizzy traveled on foot from Columbus to his native Cleveland Ohio, enduring many miles and blisters on his feet. "I walked for a purpose. I walked for people who have no home, fame, fortune, or glory. I walked for those people who didn't care whether or not I am a Grammy Award winner or sold millions of records*. I walked for the people who have no one to turn to in their time of need. I walked for the real soul survivors.” For more information on Bizzy Bone, check out: http://www.myspace.com/bizzybone
"Hip Hop DX":http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.4956/title.hhdx-news-bits-tuesdayIm SO looking forward to this. Bone has always been one of my favorite hip hop groups, they pioneered a style thats still being used today by just about everyone. I'm kinda sad that Bizzy is estranged from the group, he obviously has some demons going on thats requiring more of his attention than a new album. Ive always thought he was the cornerstone of the group.
