Music: Hip-Hop Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

Cleveland-based rap act Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are still best-known for their ubiquitous 1997 single "Tha Crossroads" — but really, they've got a whole lot more love to give. Despite the departure of two original members, BTnH's latest album, Strength & Loyalty, retains the group's signature style of rich vocal harmonies and almost-incomprehensibly speedy rhymes. (Flesh-n-Bone may yet return, pending his release from prison later this year.) The album's first single, "I Tried," is a slow-paced, sober reflection on street life (featuring a guest chorus by Akon) that recently went ringtone platinum.
