What is Flesh-n-Bone's net worth?
Flesh-n-Bone is an American rapper who has a net worth of $300 thousand. Flesh-n-Bone, born Stanley Howse in Cleveland, Ohio, is an American rapper best known as the oldest member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and the older brother of Layzie Bone.
In the early 1990s, he joined Layzie, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone to form the group B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e, which later became Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. The group was discovered and signed by Eazy-E. Known for his aggressive vocal delivery and street-edge perspective, Flesh added a distinctive rawness to the group's harmonized rap style.
The Peak of Bone Thugs' Success
Flesh-n-Bone played a key role in the group's most iconic period, contributing to albums like "E. 1999 Eternal" (1995) and "The Art of War" (1997), both of which were certified 4× Platinum and reached #1 on the Billboard 200 and R&B charts. Their Grammy-winning single "Tha Crossroads" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and cemented their place in hip-hop history. Though not always featured as prominently as other members due to legal issues, Flesh-n-Bone's deep voice and intensity provided a vital contrast to the group's signature harmonies.
Solo Career
Flesh-n-Bone released his debut solo album "T.H.U.G.S." in 1996, which reached #8 on the Billboard R&B chart and #23 on the Billboard 200. It was certified Gold and included collaborations with group members as well as a harder, more West Coast-influenced production style. He followed it with "5th Dog Let Loose" in 2000 and "Blaze of Glory" in 2011, the latter marking his full return to music after years of incarceration.
Legal Issues and Incarceration
Flesh-n-Bone's career was derailed in 2000 when he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon and weapons possession. He ultimately served eight years. His legal troubles continued after his release; in March 2010, he was arrested in Cleveland on a decade-old felony warrant while on tour with Bone Thugs. Despite these setbacks, he returned to the group and reestablished himself as a key member during their reunions and recordings in the 2010s.
Later Work and Legacy
Following his release, Flesh-n-Bone appeared on the group's comeback albums, including "Uni5: The World's Enemy" (2010), "The Art of War: World War III" (2013), and "E. 1999 Legends" (2016). His return restored the original five-member lineup and marked a new era of unity for the group. Though his solo output is less extensive than some of his bandmates, his story is often viewed as one of redemption and perseverance.
