Legendary rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will be honored in their hometown of Cleveland.
According to reports, the group will have a street renamed after them at the intersection of E.99th Street and St. Clair Avenue. The street name will read “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way.” The event will take place on August 11th and will be led by Cleveland City Councilman Anthony Hairston, Ward 10, and the Spread The Love Foundation.
The location of the renaming is significant to the group’s second album E. 1999 Eternal, which was released in 1996. The album had hits such as “Tha Crossroads” and “1st of Tha Month.” The album would go on to be nominated for Best Rap Album at the Grammy’s.
Krayzie Bone said in a statement, “Growing up on the street was crazy. We had many, many adventures on that street. We got in so much trouble. Our street was 99th and St. Clair, but we renamed our street because of the two nine- the 99- we called it ‘Double Glock.’”
The ceremony will start at noon and last for two. Congratulations to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.
