Their trademark double and triple-time sung/rapped harmonies brought something new to the table at a time when most acts were busy trying to imitate what was featured on Dr. Dre's The Chronic. The unique sound prompted multi-platinum record sales, won them a Grammy, and brought the spotlight to the long-neglected Midwestern hip-hop community. As a solo performer, Bizzy is well known for his high-speed rhyme style and unique singing abilities. Continually writing and recording around the clock, he released his first solo album in 1998, the personal and introspective Heaven'z Movie. After receiving critical acclaim, Bizzy went on to write and release The Gift in 2001, Alpha and Omega in 2004, and The Beginning and the End, also in 2004. Bizzy's work has been awarded by numerous respected groups, including an ASCAP Award, the Michael JacksonSoul Train Award, a Blockbuster Award, an American Music Award, and the NAACP - Back To School/Stay in School Youth Rally Award. He has become a member of Hip Hop's elite, collaborating with modern hip-hop legends such as Snoop Dogg P. Diddy, as well as the late Eazy-E, 2Pac, and The Notorious B.I.G.. The following year he appeared on the FOX series "America's Most Wanted". In 2004, he voluntarily began life as a homeless person and went on a journey that changed his life. He began walking from his hometown of Cleveland throughout the state of Ohio for a little over half a year, giving away virtually all of what little money he had left and living in bus stations. In late 2005, he remains on the outs with Bone Thugs N Harmony, revealing that he hasn't spoken to any of his former group members in months, and that he plans to continue his solo career. He had eight children from different women. He names all of them on the track "Hip Hop Baby" off the album "Bone Brothers"
