Mo Thugs was an American hip hop collective from Cleveland, Ohio, formed and led by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Together, the Mo Thugs collective released four studio albums from 1995 to 2003. Their logo, a pyramid with a fist above it, is symbolic of their achievements; The pyramid stands for longevity, and the fist stands for victory. Unlike Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mo Thugs were not on Ruthless Records.
Due to their success in 1996 Bone Thugs established their own Mo Thugs Records to introduce many of the Cleveland-based and other artists that they were developing. The group's first album, Family Scriptures was released in November 1996 produced by Romeo Antonio. The album was a success, peaking at No. 2 on both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (held from the top spot of both charts by Tupac Shakur's The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory), and reaching platinum status for sales over one million copies.
Mo Thugs followed Family Scriptures in 1998 with Chapter II: Family Reunion. The album featured 2 collectives biggest hit's, Felecia feat. Krayzie Bone"All Good", and "Ghetto Cowboy"which peaked at 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 also produced by Romeo Antonio. it reached Platinum status for sales of 1,000,000 copies.
The collective has since released two more albums, Mo Thugs III: The Mothership in 2000, and The Movement in 2003.
In 2010, Layzie Bone restructured the company, branding Harmony Howse Ent. as the new parent company over Mo Thugs, governing the regional satellite branches of the ever-expanding Mo Thugs Family, such as Mo Thugs South, Mo Thugs West, Mo Thugs Detroit, and the rest of the Mo Thugs Affiliates worldwide.
