Bone Thugs N Harmony’s Layzie Bone appeared on Breakbeat Media to discuss making “Notorious Thugs” with the Notorious B.I.G. for his Life After Death LP. Layzie talked about how the late Frank White tried to bounce with two ounces of weed he brought for the session.
“We first got to the studio, it was Lil Cease, Stevie J, Puffy was in there man the whole Bad Boy camp; so I come in, I had two ounces of weed,” said Layzie. He continued, “So the n***a, Biggie Smalls, put my weed in his pocket, man. I’m like ‘Ay n***a.’ [He had it] in both of them. He talking bout he thought I was giving it to him, and I’m like, ‘Nah, n***a, that’s for the party, man.’”

We broke the story … the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper — real name Steven Howse — was involved in a paternity case in Michigan with the baby’s mother, Shateira Marketa Childress. She claimed he was the father of her child, Sevyn, and turns out … she was right.
According to the test report … DNA samples were collected from the trio in April, and Layzie’s been determined to be the biological father with almost 100 percent certainty.
As we told you, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is looking to establish Layzie as the father in order to determine how much he’ll have to fork over in child support.
Reportedly, Layzie was involved in a different paternity test in 2013, and he was found to be the father in that case, too. But the kicker is he has three children, with his longtime wife.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony dominated the mid-1990s with a unique style of Rap music. Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Wish Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Flesh-N-Bone put Ohio on the global Rap map with a harmonic sound that pulled from the church and the street alike. While 1994’s Creepin’ On Ah Come Up achieved gold-certification just a few months after its release, the quintet burst to the top of the charts just months after their mentor and employer, Eazy-E died (24 years ago this week). That ascent led to Grammy Awards, world tours, and more.
Creepin’…, 1995’s E. 1999 Eternal, and 1997’s The Art Of War all achieved quadruple-platinum status during the 1990s. Even with solo efforts, label woes, and Flesh’s incarceration, the group seemingly could not be stopped. During the crew’s meteoric rise, they started tightening the reigns on what music released where. The crew participated in an incredible collaboration with Biggie on the eventually-diamond-certified Life After Death. However, apart from quick-strikes on The Show and Great White Hype soundtracks, the collective unleashed one of the biggest and most enduring songs on the musical companion to Set It Off.
“Days Of Our Livez” embodies the most polished side of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. While the crew is very prolific in the independent era, 1996 was a slow and strategic period. This song was a major look for the F. Gary Gray film starring Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett-Smith. “Days…” sees Layzie, Krayzie, Wish and Bizzy pass the ball with each of their verses, with the group delivering a melodic hook that dabbles in their current hardships, even if the song was released in the midst of their greatest success.
Layzie opens the track with a quick-fire verse: “Eternally thugs, here I come tellin’ them soldier stories, Been daily collectin’ my lessons, without any questions / Without any questions, stressin’ no restin’, we journey this blessin’ / Shiftin’ the game rearranging thangs, ’cause once the world was bringin’ me down / Mesmerized controlled by the other side, but the devil was in my town.” Wish catches the verse to deliver a few bars of his own: “But he won’t get me in time, f*cking with Bone, and he liking these rhymes / We rhyme better believe it all the time, ni**a, we live / We straight up soldiers, Bet a ni**a done told ya, told ya / We rob before we go broke, ni**a we robbin’ y’all, all of y’all, all y’all.” Krayzie ends the song’s first set of verses, closing out with a statement on brotherhood: “Y’all my dogs, if you call or you fall / You can bet on that, ni**a, whenever that I will be there, lean on me / But let us get rid of the enemies.” After Eazy-E’s passing, the group’s respective heartfelt pain is still heard and felt in “Days Of Our Livez.”
The track reached the Top 10 of the Rap charts, as well as the overall Top 20. Thoughtfully, the Grammy Award-winner DJ U-Neek samples two mid-1980s sings. This includes “Tender Love” by Force MDs, produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. It also pulls from “Making Love In The Rain” by Herb Alpert, Janet Jackson and Lisa Keith, which Jam and Lewis also produced.
Although the soundtrack (also involving En Vogue, Organized Konfusion, Queen Latifah, and Goodie Mob) arrived on Sylvia Rhone’s EastWest Records, Ruthless also got involved. The song landed on the first installment of Bone’s The Collection two years later.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony‘s Layzie Bone has a new feud on his hands. Reports claim the hip-hop veteran is getting forced into a paternity case.
According to reports, a woman named Shateira Marketa Childress has filed legal paperwork with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in an effort to make Layzie take a paternity test.
The baby’s name is Sevyn Isreal Childress-Howse … born in May 2018. The date of conception is listed as September 2017. The Department of Health and Human Services is looking to establish Layzie as the father in order to determine how much dough the rapper will have to fork over in child support. It’s interesting … back in 2013, the same woman claimed in a paternity suit Layzie was the father of her one-and-a-half-year-old child, and it turned out she was right. (TMZ)
Outside of the baby daddy drama, Bone recently took aim at his rap foes Migos on the newly released “Annihilation” battle song.
Offset responded to Layzie, bringing finances into the competition. As Cardi B’s husband said that Layzie had inferior wealth, the former Ruthless Records artist insisted that this is about skills, not bills. The artist who also suggested that Migos sampled some of the Bone Thugs style, wanted a battle and issued a formal challenge to Offset, whether rapper-to-rapper or crew-versus-crew.
On Christmas Day, Layzie dropped “Let Me Go Migo.” That offensive, embedded below, garnered nearly half a million listens, as L-Burna vowed to “protect my throne” while declaring that “as long as I’m livin’ I’m second-to-none.” The dispute grew a bit more serious when Bone Thugs band-mate Bizzy Bone apparently brandished weapons on social media while addressing Migos and others in an odd incident.
After a few days, the conflict has heated up once more with definitive lyrics. Layzie Bone launches the second musical attack on Migos with the aptly-titled “Annihilation.” “Who them ni**as who said they want it in a battle? / Man, there ain’t no competition, and I sewed ’em like a cold-cut / You know what? Ni**a, this here a cold cut / You got served by a skinny ni**a biggin’ up / Bag it up, pick it up, boy, I’ll snatch your pride from ya’ / Annihilation is a must if we collide, homie,” spits the MC in the opening seconds. He shouts out Cleveland before giving up a melodic chorus over the Trap beat.
In the third verse, Layzie comes back to his opponents with a full run-down. “You ni**as callin’ me ‘trash,’ man, I’m not surprised / What you’re really trying to do is ostracize / Trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the young and the wise / Tryin’ to do the Biggie Smalls and get ’em hypnotized / But I rise to occasion / Look at the equation / Why is my opponent really good at the evadin’? / Recent situation / I was never hatin’ / You were the ones that made the proclamation / I’m so weak I’m supposed to agree? / Like ‘them ni**as is the best, they as good as can be’ / Nah, ni**as, y’all clowns, you ain’t f*ckin’ with me / And word around town that you’re duckin’ the G / Can anybody tell me what my age got to do with it? / I’m lookin’ good, feelin’ better, lil’ stupid b*tch / Eazy died of AIDS and it damn near ruined sh*t / I ain’t ’bout to stop until I feel like I’m through with it.” The MC then salutes all those trying to improve their craft, young and old.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony‘s Layzie Bone isn’t waving any white flags. The hip-hop veteran has continued his anti-Migos campaign by dropping a new battle record aimed at the trio.
