Biography

Born Wayne Hardnett, Atlanta rapper Bone Crusher made his mark with a likeable playground machismo and a street-smart pop sensibility. Both of those qualities were on display on his 2003 debut, AttenCHUN!, and its hit single, "Never Scared." Before his success, Bone Crusher was a part of the Lyrical Giants, a crew that worked with Too Short and Erick Sermon and whose other members -- Baby B and Bizar -- both appear on Crusher's debut album. The weighty six-foot one-inch MC had a tumultuous start to his career, bouncing with the Lyrical Giants from one label to the next before landing on his feet with Jermaine Dupri and his newly reorganized So So Def label. ~ Wade Kergan, All Music Guide
