What is Bizzy Bone's Net Worth?
Bizzy Bone is an American rapper who has a net worth of $2 million. Bizzy Bone, born Bryon Anthony McCane, was raised in Columbus, Ohio. His early life was marked by severe trauma. At age four, he was abducted by his mother's boyfriend and held captive for over two years before being rescued. This experience, along with subsequent reports of abuse and molestation, deeply influenced his life and lyrical themes. At age 13, he moved to Cleveland to live with his sisters and their father. It was there he met Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone, forming the foundation of what would become Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.
The Peak of Bone Thugs' Success
Bizzy Bone emerged as the youngest and most emotionally raw member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. His high-pitched voice, rapid delivery, and spiritual lyrics became trademarks of the group's sound. During their peak in the mid-1990s, Bone Thugs released a string of hits including "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," "1st of tha Month," and the Grammy-winning "Tha Crossroads." Their albums "Creepin on ah Come Up" and "E. 1999 Eternal" went multi-platinum and established them as one of the most distinctive hip-hop acts of the decade.

Solo Career and Artistic Independence
Bizzy launched his solo career in 1998 with the release of "Heaven'z Movie," which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and was later certified Gold. He followed this with a string of releases including "The Gift" (2001), which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, "Alpha and Omega" (2004), and "A Song for You" (2008). His solo work often explored spiritual themes, personal redemption, conspiracy theories, and the lingering effects of childhood trauma.
Despite limited promotion for many of his albums, Bizzy developed a loyal underground following. He continued to release independent projects such as "The Greatest Rapper Alive" and "Crossroads: 2010," and collaborated with Layzie Bone on the "Bone Brothers" series.
