It's Not A Game

As one of the founding members of multi-platinum, Grammy-winning Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, the Cleveland-raised rapper had to overcome abject poverty and people belittling his group’s pioneering rapid-fire, harmonic sound before he tasted superstardom. That’s why he’s titled his second scintillating solo album It's Not a Game. "I feel like a lot of people, a lot of MCs take a lot of things for granted," Layzie Bone explains. "People miss out on opportunities, so I wanted to let people know that with me, it’s not a game. I’m going to make things happen regardless." True to his word, Lazie Bone delivers a focused brand of thuggery on the follow-up to 2001’s Thug by Nature (recorded as L-Burna a.k.a. Layzie Bone), which will surely strike a chord with the millions of Bone fans around the world.
