It’s almost unheard of for musicians to change their name after 25 years, especially when that change is part of a marketing campaign for an American casual dining restaurant known for their chicken wings. In either a coup for marketing professionals everywhere or a sign that no one (even legendary hip-hop groups) are immune to capitalism’s allure, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony announced on February 19th that their new name is Boneless Thugs-n-Harmony — a homage to Buffalo Wild Wings.

In addition to the overarching name swap, three members of the group will also go by new monikers.

Things haven't been harmonious with Bone Thugs lately. In April, Krayzie Bone announced that he was leaving Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, but after three short months, Kray, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone and Flesh-n-Bone will reunite onstage at the Ohio Homecoming concert on Saturday.

The concert, which will also feature Drake and local Ohio artists such as Stalley and Ray Cash, will double as a celebration of Cleveland's 215th birthday.

"They ain't seen us, all five, since Flesh came out [of prison in 2008]," Bizzy Bone told MTV News. "We ain't been able to really put on a showcase for 'em, and this is a beautiful platform. It's gonna be thousands and thousands and thousands of people there, and it's Cleveland's birthday."

On the heels of releasing their ninth group project, this time featuring all five members together, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony realized the endurance that kept them together all these years was exactly what they needed to deliver their new album.

The Cleveland collective is currently touring to promote their forthcoming Uni-5: The World's Enemy without charismatic member Bizzy Bone, who opted out of the trek because of a financial dispute. Wish Bone, though, said being back onstage trumps any trouble, albeit temporary, that might have arisen between the group.

"For us to be able to go out and sell tickets and people to want to come see us, we thank God for that, first and foremost," he said. "It's been a rough road.

A brand new material called "The Game Ain't Ready" from hip-hop musical act Bone Thugs-n-Harmony has arrived. Confirmed to be included in their upcoming album "Uni5", the track has been available to stream on their MySpace and received heavy airplays from fans. It becomes their first single after one of the group's members Flesh-n-Bone was released from prison on July 13, 2008.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony haven't shared any release date for "Uni5". Words are, they will work with powerhouse producers Scott Storch, who is currently working with Ciara in her new album "Fantasy Ride", and Lt Hutton, the same man who made music for Tupac Shakur's 2006 record "Pac's Life".

In related news, Bone Thugs have been confirmed to join forces with Kevin Federline. In regard of their collaboration, band's member Layzie Bone said, "As Bone Thugs N Harmony with a brand new platform, we're coming to show everybody what type of real hitmakers we are.

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline is in talks with Gerard Guez about a licensing deal for a children's clothing line. To support the future project, he even stopped by The Project Trade Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday, February 25, hoping to get the inspiration he might need to start his own collection.

"It's a really tough business, I'm trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay like $500 or something ridiculous for a pair of jeans," K-Fed has been quoted as telling Women's Wear Daily. "You buy your kids a pair of True Religions then they roll around in the dirt like kids do and a $200 pair of jeans is gone. With this economy, I'm looking to do something much more reasonable."

At time of writing, it is not yet known if Kevin has decided on a name for his planned children's clothing line.

Kevin Federline is set to team up with hip-hop musical act Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for his upcoming studio album. In regard of the collaboration, one of the group's members Layzie Bone says, "As Bone Thugs N Harmony with a brand new platform, we're coming to show everybody what type of real hitmakers we are."

Layzie further notes, "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 is done with him." Kevin meanwhile says to "appreciate these guys coming and looking at this project for what it is."

Music producer Lt Hutton, the same man who made music for Tupac Shakur's 2006 record "Pac's Life", says that Kevin and Bone Thugs are right now working on a song called "Paparazzi Music." The track will be "a soundtrack for when you're chasing people down" when it is finished,...
