Amid the fervor, the group immediately reentered the studio and emerged with a remarkable album, E 1999 Eternal (1995). The album topped the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and spawned a pair of popular singles, '1st of the Month' and 'Tha Crossroads,' the latter a dedication to the deceased and a Grammy Award recipient. As was in vogue at the time, the group members subsequently pursued respective solo careers and also a spinoff group; none of these ventures rivaled the proper Bone projects. At this point, the onetime cohesive group, which specialized in interwoven, harmonious singing as well as rapping, became conflicted and the group members failed to collaborate well. However, their second album, Art of War (1997) -- an ambitious double-disc package -- was very successful.
Not only did it top the same Billboard charts as E 1999 Eternal, but lead single 'Look into My Eyes' went Top Five on the Hot 100. Within a year of release, it was certified quadruple platinum for over four million units sold in the U.S. A second round of solo albums sold poorly, and Bone quickly slid off the mainstream radar. Occasional reunions, such as 2000's BTNHResurrection and 2002's Thug World Order, produced some moments of glory, but these were few and far between. Thug Stories, released in 2006 on, placed the group -- at the time, a trio minus -- in the Top 30 of the Billboard 200. Bone then signed to 's -affiliated boutique label, where they issued 2007's Strength & Loyalty. A major-label budget allowed for guest spots from,,,, and, and the set eventually sold over 500,000 copies, earning gold certification.
