Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were by Eazy-E’s side all the way until the end, and it was the Compton artist that helped jump-start the guy’s career. They originally called into his office and awaited a response from him, and were pleasantly surprised when he called back after coming off tour. “He actually ended up calling us back, and at the point we auditioned for him and shared some lyrics with him and it was history,” recalls Flesh-N-Bone.
