Bone Thugs-n-Harmony released their first album, Faces of Death, in 1993, under the name B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e. After the group was noticed by Eazy-E, he signed the group to Ruthless Records and suggested the name Thugs-N-Harmony after a song of the same name by the group, and they eventually agreed on the name Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.[6]
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's first extended play includes the singles "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" and "Foe tha Love of $". Features on the album include vocalist Shatasha Williams and their mentor and executive producer Eazy-E. The first two lines of "Intro" are backwards. Played forward are "Heaven in art which Father our, Our Father which art in Heaven" Tracks 3, 4 and 6 have listed, "Keenu Songs" which is "U-Neek" spelled backwards.
Parts of "Foe tha Love of $" (including Jewell's backing vocals) are recycled from the Yomo & Maulkie track "For the Love of Money", from their 1991 album Are U Xperienced?.[7] The closing track on Creepin on ah Come Up, "Moe Cheese", is actually the same instrumental track from Are U Xperienced?, also titled "For the Love of Money".
