Bone Crusher, born Wayne Hardnett Jr. on August 23, 1971, in Atlanta, Georgia, is a prominent figure in the southern hip-hop scene, known for his explosive energy and hefty, gravelly voice that complements his stage name. He burst onto the mainstream radar in 2003 with his debut album, "AttenCHUN!" which featured the hit single "Never Scared." This track, a high-energy anthem that featured T.I. and Killer Mike, quickly became a club staple and is widely regarded as a crunk classic, helping to cement Bone Crusher's place in hip-hop. His style is characterized by a mix of Southern hip-hop, crunk, and hardcore rap, with lyrics that often emphasize strength, struggle, and overcoming adversity.

Following the success of "AttenCHUN!", Bone Crusher continued to release music and collaborate with other artists, including the Ying Yang Twins on the provocative track "Take Ya Clothes Off". Despite the fact that his subsequent releases, such as "Release the Beast" and singles like "Battle Of The Bulge - Workout Music" and "Unstoppable," didn't achieve the same commercial success as his earlier work, they showcased his versatility and steadfast presence in the industry. Throughout his career, Bone Crusher has also ventured beyond music into acting, with appearances in various movies and TV shows, further demonstrating his multifaceted talent and enduring influence in the entertainment world.
