BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY E. 1999 Eternal hails from 2023 and is a SEALED limited edition 2LP pressed on Red-N-White Vinyl.  Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's E. 1999 Eternal, the 1995 sophomore album from the rap icons, is the VMP Essentials Record of the Month for August 2023. It's the first-ever vinyl reissue with the original album art and it's here on exclusive 2LP Red-N-White vinyl with lacquers cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound.

Following the surprise success of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's summer 1994 anthem "Thuggish Ruggish Bone," the group returned a year later with E 1999 Eternal, an impressive debut full-length that dismisses any notion that the group was merely a one-hit wonder. From beginning to end, the album maintains a consistent tone, one that's menacing and somber, produced entirely by , a Los Angeles-based producer who frames the songs with dark, smoked-out G-funk beats and synth melodies. The Bone Thugs interweave their voices well, trading off verses and harmonizing on the choruses. There are a few standout moments, most notably the Grammy-winning ballad "Tha Crossroads" and the feel-good welfare ode "1st of the Month," as well as, of course, some obligatory blaze-some-to-this tracks, "Budsmokers Only" and "Buddah Lovaz." The intermittent tracks are good old-fashioned gangsta rap about murder, drugs, and money. In the end, E 1999 Eternal stands as one of the most accomplished, unique hardcore rap albums of the '90s, one that's often unfairly overlooked, if not dismissed entirely, because of the group's subsequent unraveling.
