Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Work With K-Fed and Vanilla Ice On New Album
2/19/2009 By Josiah Hughes

Long-running rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have effectively turned their career into a VH1 reality show with the announcement that they’ll be collaborating with both Kevin Federline and, possibly, Vanilla Ice on an upcoming album.

In a recent video announcement, Layzie Bone at least seemed to understand the scrutiny he faced, saying, “It's gonna be viewed and doubted by a lot of people... As Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, with a brand new platform, we're coming to show everybody what type of real hitmakers we are. We're gonna make a multi-platinum album and party with the paparazzi. We coming to prove y'all wrong, TMZ! Kevin Federline is gonna be platinum when Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are done with him.”

K-Fed took a more hilarious route, attempting to come off like the tortured artist he is. “"I appreciate these guys coming and looking at this project for what it is," he said. "All I really want to do is make music."

While the Vanilla Ice collabo is still just a rumour, it would be a wise choice — dude’s career is on the rise thanks to the hype surrounding his double-headliner with MC Hammer in Orem, Utah.

Transit / Man Overboard - Transit / Man Overboard
The deliberately lo-fi, yet earnest, split between Transit and Man Overboard sounds like the product of a bunch of friends growing up on punk and hardcore throughout the '90s. The hardcore leanings of Boston fivesome Transit lay the groundwork for the pop punk tendencies of the Jersey kids in Man Ov... Full Review
