Bruce released his own mix cd titled ‘Explicit’ whilst being the opening acts for major artist including Bone Thugs-n-Harmony – one of the major highlights from his career thus far, connecting with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony producer DJ U-Neek who is responsible for hits such as Thuggish Ruggish Bone, First Of The Month and the Grammy award-winning Crossroads(remix).

U-Neek liked Bruce’s style and understood what Bruce was doing and knew he could add some of his Thuggish flava to the tracks. U-Neek also knew the major labels wouldn’t catch the vision for an artist like Bruce Hathcock. After an immediate bond over music and musical vision, Bruce and U-Neek went to work immediately executive producing and co-producing alongside Bruce. Read more on Last.fm.
