Charles Scruggs (born February 21, 1974), better known as Wish Bone, is an American rapper and member of the Cleveland rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

Enterprise early years

The group was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1991, and was originally called "Band Aid Boys." They then forged B.O.N.E. Enterprise, a group of four members, released a Faces of Death album in the studio of their then-mentor, Kermit Henderson, on his indie label Stoney Burke in 1993, which included four members: Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone (all except for Flesh-n-Bone). They called executives at record companies in the hopes of finding someone who would pay attention, as many aspiring rappers around the country. The group was given an interview over the phone in the hopes of securing a contract, but rapper Eazy-E promised to call them back unfull. They scrounged together the money for one-way bus tickets to Los Angeles, determined to reach him. They embarked on a three-day Greyhound trek and spent four months on the city streets, receiving constant calls to find him. Other than the fact that Eazy-E was on his way to Cleveland for a show, there was no mention of their hunt.

The quartet returned to Ohio, where Diego Blak (born Diego Hodge), a marketer and promoter for Faces Of Death, welcomed them to Eazy-E in Compton at a concert he promoted in Compton. They auditioned for Eazy in his dressing room on November 2, 1993; Krayzie performed his version of "Flow Motion" from the Faces of Death album, and Eazy was impressed. After a show in Cleveland, B.O.N.E Enterprises returned to Los Angeles to seal the deal, the couple was signed. At this point, Eazy renamed them Thugs-N-Harmony, but they didn't get to keep the Bone name, so they gave them the name Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Eazy transferred the company (minus Flesh-n-Bone) to his name Ruthless Records.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's debut with Ruthless was released in June 1994. Creepin on ah Creepin. The album's subject matter was almost entirely centered on violent criminal conduct.

It's finally surpassed mainstream audiences after a slow start to see the album's success limited to gangsta rap audiences. The EP marked a major change in the group's style, as the group fully adopted the G-funk found in West Coast hip hop of the time. DJ Yella, Rhythum D, and Kenny McCloud performed beats, and it was the group's first collaboration with newcomer producer DJ U-Neek, who would produce the bulk of the company's next two albums. Eazy-E nurtured their career for more than a year, assisting them in their executive role and teaching them the business skills he had acquired over the years. However, when Eazy-E died on March 26, 1995, AIDS-related pneumonia complications, the growing friendship was cut short. The young rappers hoped to have lost everything as a result of their friend and mentor's death. Nonetheless, Ruthless Records continued to promote them, and the organization's potential was clear.
