==Biography==
===Solo career===
Krayzie recorded his solo debut, ''[[Thug Mentality 1999]]'', in 1998. The album was released as a double disc set, featuring a large selection of guest appearances, including [[Bone Thugs-n-Harmony]], [[Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers|The Marley Brothers]], [[Mariah Carey]], [[Big Pun]], [[Fat Joe]], [[E-40]], [[8 Ball & MJG]], [[Kurupt]], [[Treach]] and [[Snoop Dogg]]. The album was certified platinum by the [[RIAA]].
In 2001, Krayzie released ''[[Thug On Da Line]]''. The album didn't do as well as his previous release, and was criticized for its frequent guest appearances from fellow Thugline members by a few hardcore fans. However his album received plenty of positive reviews from music critics and went gold. [[Amazon.com]] went as far as labeling it one of the best albums of 2001.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005NNLR Amazon.com: Thug on da Line: Music: Krayzie Bone<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
